how do you print screen??

Now i know about the print screen button on my laptop but do i use ctrl and the prtsc button or alt? And then after that where does it go and how do i post it on this site or any other site. Also im sure that i would like to post some pictures on fig in the future and how do i do that. Im kina a newb at that still...all your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone

Hold Ctrl then press Prt Scr. Then it's like you copied it. All you have to do is paste.

aweosme thanks for the help

PrintScr by itself grabs the whole desktop, with all open windows. Ctrl-PrintScr just grabs the currently active window.

You are a fountain of knowledge.

Thank you sir.

Freeware program that I use sometimes instead of the default is

Has a few more options and smaller file sizes if your sending the screenshots through aim or emails. Capture defined area is nice so you don't have to crop later.

And if you're looking for a commercial utility, Snag-It[=http//www.techsmith.com/snagit.asp]Snag-It is awesome. It will scroll a web page to capture it all, apply all sort of neat graphical effects to your cap (shadows, fades, various edge effects), etc.

you the man...thanks

Yeah definitely, SnagIt is the mother of all screen capture programmes.

Also, to upload images to FiPG or other sites, I downloaded an Imageshack application that integrates into Windows XP, 2000 and I think 98. If you have an image on your computer, right click, hit Imageshack Quickload, Upload to Imageshack and then it'll upload and take you to uploaded picture page online.

It's not available anymore since they decided to go with the Imageshack toolbar instead, but I can e-mail it to you if you want it. roll

yeah tsj could you do that for me..
