Question.

You know how people can make it so you can see their desktop (with the folders and everything) and they can post their 'computer screen'. How do you do that? Do you need a special program or something?:confused:

Just hit the print scrn/ sys Rg button and that save what ever is on your desktop .....now go to paint, go to edit and hit paste . save it and your done.

Look on your keyboard, there should be a button that says "Print Scrn SysRq".

[Dogz]

Okies, I found it! After you have it under paint, do you need to upload it or something?:o

[Karen]

Unless you are on a different system. My Mac keyboard doesn't abbreviate it like that, it says "print screen" over the F13 key, but on a Mac, hitting "Command-Shift-3" takes a screen shot and puts it on your desktop.

[Dogz]

Another qeustion: What do you do for you desktop?

[Fox-Gal]

On the top left of your key board theirs a button that says Print Scrn....... right next to Scroll and F12. Then just push that and it takes the picture of your desktop.

Now go to Paint and hit the edit button and scroll down to paste, hit paste and that will paste it to paint. Now all you have to do is save it.

Does that make better sense to you? Now I have windows so if you happen to have mac, I don't know if it works the same.

[Dogz]

I have windows. Lemme try this now.:)

[Dogz]

Meh. *feels stupid* Does it save by itself or..

[Fox-Gal]

You better off saving it your self......just go to file and hit save. Pick the form you want it to be in and name it and then save.

[Dogz]

UGH, it won't let me click 'save', I have to go to 'save as' and then it just comes up as writing. What am I doing wrong?

[Fox-Gal]

Never had that problem my just saves it as a bmp. Try just closing paint and see if it asks you if you want to save it.....hopefully it will save it in the right from.

[Dogz]

I FIGURED IT OUT!:D
But, I don't know what to do after I saved it.:rolleyes: :o

[Fox-Gal]

Ok then when it's open on your paint try just right click it and copy it see if you can save it that way.


I never had your problem saving it before so I'm not sure what the problem is.

[Dogz]

I figured it out, I have it saved, do I have to upload to imagestation or something now?:o

[Fox-Gal]

What do you want to do with it?

[Dogz]

Post my desktop in the desktop thread.:) Do I just attach it?

[Fox-Gal]

If you plan on using it here or something then yes load it on Imagestation, if not just save it in a folder on your putter.

[Fox-Gal]

Ok sounds like you got if figured out. Great.

Put on Imagestation and your done.
