1. confused by error message: screen shots
thanks dan for the suggestion
only problem NOW is i dont know how to get my screen shots into the 'post'
copy & paste does not work as the 'paste' choice in the right-click menu is
ghosted out
and 'dragging' it across from its folder to the composing message area seemed
promising until i let go of the button and the contents of the window ("Send a
Message to EUforum") were completely replaced with microsoft internet explorer
showing the image of the screen shot AND NOTHING ELSE - i.e. i had to log back
into to EUforum from a different window and start composing thid message from
scratch - containing no pictures to show you
i love computing but i obviously dont know enough of the "ins and outs" to avoid
pitfalls like this
{sigh}
but the weather has been fine here in new zealand so all is good 
love light peace & fondest

hmm, you seem to be right, I can't get a screen shot to be included in a post
either; but I thought I'd seen posts sometimes that DID have them, maybe
I'm wrong, though.
But I'll try something, so look to see if there is a screen shot after this
reply. If there IS, what I did was past the screen shot into wordpad (or
some other editor), then select all, re-copy, & THEN in a message for this
forum, "paste" is no longer greyed out, so I clicked it--however, I see
nothing as a result. Question is, when the post is viewed, will the
screen shot be visible?
Or, perhaps others can suggest how to send a screen shot?

Sorry eel,
I was totally WRONG, all the "screen shots" mentioned here have actually
been URL links to where a screen shot is available. Maybe you can upload
screen shot to some site & provide a url?
Best I can come up with.

Hi
Screenshots are bitmaps. Press PrintScreen, then open a graphics program
(Paint Shop Pro eg), and paste the graphic into there.
Dos / command line windows can also be capture this way, but there is another
way.
Click on the icon in the top left of the window, and use the edit / select /
copy
functions to copy the text, and paste it into the application of your choice.
I have of course assumed that your error messages are appearing in a console
window, and not in a gui window.
