Now hold on just one second - did you actually use a camera to take a photograph of the screen? :wow:

Is there any particular reason you didn't just take a software screenshot?

Hit the printscreen key, open paint and paste.

Indeed. I said "software screenshot" instead of "Print Screen" (or PrntScrn, or whatever) because there are other programs, like SnagIt for example, that can be used to take screenshots.

Anyhow, physical pictures of a screen are funny. Tthat pic might even have been taken with a film camera.

How do you print - something like this (the first pic)?

Yeah Tiger, I used my digicam. The last time I tried using the printscrn for the monster shots, I couldn't remember which program it got pasted to. So I just used the cam. Anyway, Cutlerylover really should have responded to this buy now. I guess he's stuck in transit from China....

No CL, it's my browser's cache, it had your image stuck in it, and used the image file in place of what should have been a picture on the website. Check out the first post where it happened here on CPF.

You've got some weird problems with your cache man! I've never had that problem.

Perhaps your install is messed up, or maybe even your HD is corrupt!!

BTW, if you do an "ALT + Prnt Scrn" you get only the active window pasted to the clipboard. From there you can simply paste into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc, or paste it in to Paintbrush and save as a BMP or JPG.
