Hello, find "Paint" in your start menu under All programs > Accessories > Paint - open Paint and click Ctrl + V at the same time. I know you can use "Insert" too but I forgot how. Then save as.......
In paint got to the edit tab and then past. This will take the image from the clip board and place it in the paint window...
The way I do it,
Hit the print screen button,
Open MS Paint
Select edit, then paste
Wambam, there is.
BB
Control + V is just a keyboard shortcut for edit > paste XpFxMaN. Whatever you feel comfortable with.................
thanks! :D
