http://torrentinvite.com/forum/images/icons/icon7.gif How to take screen shots with Ms paint
Hello this is for all the new members that may not know how to do this and so when a forum member ask for a screen shot of ur speed test and ratio ull be prepared.
SCREEN SHOTS
1. when ur at the screen u want captured just press- Print Screen.
2. After u do that open up microsoft paint.
3. When ur in microsoft paint just press Control V, the pic that u chose to capture should now appear in ur paint screen.
4. Now u need to save it, go to file and choose save as (very important) pick JPEG
Now u should have a screen shot saved in ur save location.
Now all u have to do is find a hosting place for ur pics and u can easily put ur pics in ur profile.
There are many hosting places, like imageshack or photobucket. I like photobucket.
I hope this helps anyone who needed it
enjoy

Good post. I pretty sure most people know how to take mspaint screenshots though. The best way to take screenshots is using snag-it. That program makes it where you can grab what you need from the screenshot without having to do as much editing.

i was able to find a cracked version in RS. try searching there, if not trackers.

...and i find snag-it easier and faster to use...it has hotkey, there are different mod of taking screenshot etc. Plus, has more editing tools.

And the scrolling window is really cool

you can't tack a scrolling window with paint screen


and sometimes the content of the controls does not show up when using printscreen

I am happy I have never had the experience of using the horror called MS Paint and for the last three years, I have been clear of anything Microsoft at all, i am being cleansed. Why not just use photoshop?

Photoshop is an overkill for such simple task

LOL :D photoshop is so heavy..you just need a lightweight application in order to take a screen
