Here's a link to the filters that will allow you to save as .jpg with Paint

http://www.geocities.com/one_human/a...ml#mspaint_fix

Paste your print screen into Paint... crop it to the size you want and save it as a .jpg...the file size should be fine to post then

Howdy again Deke

glad it worked for you

There are a ton of other programs that you could use to do that but Paint is quick and actually
works quite well for simple screenshots like that

Even though the file size is OK you should probably either crop the image to show just what you want or leave it as a link...
a full size desktop screenshot like that is a killer for people with dial-up

As you can see I haven't used paint much. Will learn how to crop and change the post.

Thanks.

It might be just my eyes, but I don't see the period before the first Brace in your picture. that would do it.
