How do you copy the screen?

Thanks

First press the "Print Screen" button,
then open Paint (from "accessories" in your program folder)
Go to the Edit dropdown menu and select copy

The image of the screen should copy into paint.

Also, to add one more helpful hint. If you hold down the ALT key while hitting Print Screen it will only take a screenshot of the 'active' window. So if you want a screenshot of say only your Party or UB window...click somewhere in that window to make sure it is active..then hold alt-printscreen..then follow the above instructions to paste it into paint.

alt+print screen will copy just the active window.

Indeed, though it's already been said.

Ok, that's great and now that I have the screenshot in "paint", how do I paste it into 2+2 or anything else?

Thanks again!

You have to first save the file to your computer (File/Save As)

Once you've done that, you need to upload it to a website. Once it's on a website, you then link to it using the Image link from the posting screen. In order for your picture to show up as a picture, it must be hosted by a website that allows remote image linking (e.g. NOT geocities)
