or you PC you should have a key called PrtSc or printscreen
just have what ever you want to show on the PC screen - click on that key - you may have to use a combination of Fn on a laptop or shift etc....

then gointo a image program - like this free one www.irfanview.com and open a new document and paste or use the control key and the V key.

that will paste a picture of your screen into the program - save as jpg and email

If you don't want to send it with the email, upload it to the www.imageshack.us servers and put a link to the file in the body of the email. And yeah, mspaint works fine for it, although I personally use 602photo.

Try this:
press prt sc and press alt, at same time. Open ms paint then click edit then paste. It should show on the mspaint. Then go file "save as" and name the picture as a "jpeg file". Once saved, it should be in your C: Documents > my pictures folder. Find it and right click to edit it smaller to post wherever you want to.
Hope this is clearer for you

I see no reason why anyone would need a third party screenshot program.
