Screenshots

Wow... I think i may be asking too many questions... but anyway, does anyone know how to shoot and edit screenshots?(i have windows 7 if that helps any)

Press the "print screen" key on your keyboard, then paste it into an image editing program.

I use gimp to edit.

http://www.gimp.org/

gimp isnt working right on my computer. are there any more free editors you know of?

Photoscape is a free editing program. Obviously it is not as good as programs that you have to pay for such as photoshop, but it should work just fine for your purposes.

You can download it here:

But i still cant take the screenshot...

According to the help menu, you have to press F8 to take a screen shot.

^If you do that, you may have to click "compatability files" while in the "screenshots" folder.

But im using a laptop where the f8 button is used to turn down the volume. do you know if there is a way to disable this so i can use it like the desktop function?

there should be a button labeled "Fn" that is the same color as the f-key row numbering. try using that and see if it works. BTW, do you have a dell?

yeah. dell inspiron 15 to be exact
