Ok, well maybe not retarded, but I still need to learn alot of the basics stuff. My question is, how do you make a screen shot? I have seen folks in other discussions that made screen shots of their earnings and I have not earned anything yet, but am curious to know how you do it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

well, resasour, if you wanna full desktop capture, its CTRL+PrntScrn, but if you only wanna capture the active windows/application interface, ALT+PrntScrn is the way to go. These two key combinations will save a copy of the desktop/application image into windows clipboard, and you can use any word processing application or graphic application to paste it on. CTRL+V or Menu-Edit-Paste will do that for you.

There is a key on keubaord "print screen" is written on it, press it, it will get one for you, but this is not all, you have to open paint brush and press ctrl + v to paste it, then just save the file (will be very nig in size) so better convert it to some jpg etc

I had a friend on here explain it to me...and then i went to earnings at the top of the page and read more there...it goes by how many of these discussions you respond to and how many you start, also by how many friends you invite to join..that is about all i know for now i am fairly new to this also..Good Luck.

rofl.. I am sorry. I do not mean to laugh at you. But my question was how do you get your computer to take a screen shot of your earnings (so you can copy or print it) . I needed a step by step answer on how to get my computer to take a screen shot of my desk top, or of any file or window I have open. You're response is about how to earn here at mylot. Though I do appreciate the information, it was not the question I was asking.. so sorry for laughing... but that was just too funny. lol But thank you for giving it a shot anyway! :)
