My computer saved a picture of what I was doing on AOL to my computer. I have no idea why it would do that. Has anyone else's computer done this? :confused:
If you notice, though it's hard to see, on the bottom there are websites minimized. All of them are Pet Talk, except maybe one or two. Lol. Anyway, I found it quite funny that it saved what I was doing.

(P.S. I blocked out the screen names of the people on my buddy list, and a conversation I minimized, along with my profile. Just for privacy, you never know who could be reading this;) )

I don't have AOL so I can't really answer :)

:eek:

You must have clicked on something that made it do that. I don't think a computer would do that by itself. It probably has to do with AOL. Nothing like that here.

Oooh, a screen shot..
I don't know how to take one. I was browsing for photos in my folders, and I found that picture. That would be useful if I could find out how I did it. I'll play around with it and see if I can find out. :)

Here's how to do it, it's SO easy. You must have just accidently pressed some buttons. :p


How to Take a Screenshot
1. Press the "Print Screen" key on the right hand side of your keyboard (next to the backspace key).

2. Open Adobe Photoshop or Paint, or other photo editor program, or go into AOL and open a new file (Ctrl+N).

3. Go to Edit then click on Paste (or hit Ctrl+V).
You should then see a screenshot appear; then you can save it, edit it or send it to someone else.
