djohn Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Hi jtdt, To take a screenshot just press your Print screen/sysrq key on the top right of your keyboard. Its next to the scroll lock key. This will capture the image that is present on your screen at the time you press the key. Open "Paint" or similar and click on the edit button then paste, the image will appear on screen, save it to your desktop as jpeg file.Go to imageshack and use the browse button to find the image you've just saved, upload it to imageshack then copy paste the 2nd. address down on the list that you are given for hosting on a forum. Come back to the forum and paste the address in the message box, your image will appear in your post for us to check. Please come back if you need a bit more help with this, one of our members will talk you through each step if needed.This is the link for imageshack. http://www.imageshack.us/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 For those who could not see the image above:The question now is: how did it look before - something like this, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtdt Posted September 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 No it did not look like the one you posted.I was a small box with 3 symbols---stand by--turn off---restart and you just clicked on your choice.jtdt :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Try this:Open Control Panel, go to User Accounts, click "Change the way users log on or off" and make sure that "Use the welcome screen" is ticked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Good British draught beer should be drunk cooled. Aussie stuff needs to be absolutely stone cold to kill the taste. :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
