...that should be tucked into your "Accessories" folder. It allows you to drag your mouse diagonally across the screen and capture what you selected. After doing that, just save the image to your local HD and then upload it to a photo-hosting site like http://photobucket.com/ or wherever else you have pics saved.

That will copy the entire display of your monitor to your clipboard.

Open your "Paint" program.

Either right click and hit "paste" or click edit at the top left of the Paint page and click paste.

Click on "File" and click "Save as". When that opens, give it a name and click save or OK.

Easiest way to find it it to save it to your desktop.

Upload it to Photobucket or a similar service and voila'!

Like this;



You can blow it up, crop it etc. on the paint program or on Photobucket., but that is a shot of your post above, before I posted this response (obviously).

"This Video Only Plays in the United States- To watch clips of the Daily Show With Jon Stewart visit our much more distinguished-sounding cousin, Comedy central UK at (website name)"

I have a little something something to go around the IP blocks but I thought it was cute.

But hey, at least you have kangaroos and boomerangs.
Plus you can still watch clips... yadda yadda


I know some in this forum are absolutely TERRIFIED that non-Americans and Americans currently in other countries have the unmitigated gall to post here with opinions and stuff but I think this is kind of funny.

I have just had an American unfriend me on facebook, after sending me a screed about how I have too many opinions about the US and I shouldn't. *shrug* It's annoying, a bit, because I suspect he will take someone else with him, but hey.....such is life.

American politics and that usually answers every question and says everything that needs to be said. NOT ONCE has anyone of any notable intellect or capacity to reason used the argument that "if you don't live you, you can't say anything about what goes on here." NOT ONCE. And that goes triple for DU.
