Screenshots

How do you capture screenshots on your comp? I thought you just had to press the Print Screen button, but when I press it it doesnt appear to do anything, and even if it is working i don't know where the pics are being saved to.

print screen is right, when you press it it appears to do nothing, but it copies the image on your screen into memory. You have to paste it into a photo editor. If you have windows XP then you can use Paint its under Start>All Programs>Accessories>Paint then with Paint open just hit Ctrl+V or Edit>Paste, or Right mouse click>Paste, which ever method you prefere. Any photo editor will work if you use a different, I just say paint cause it comes with every windows PC and is easy to use.

When you are posting there is a thing in additional options that says Attach Files. Click the Manage attachments then browse your pc for your photo and upload you photo. If your photo is too big to upload under the Manage attachments then you would have to use a site like photobucket.com to post your photo. When you upload it to coolrom, you photo doesn't appear in the post, it just gives a link to your photo link the one below. When you upload it to photobucket you can post the photo directly in the post my using the yellow icon with the mountain in it.
