Yep I know it is a silly question but how do I post screen shots of Sandra 2001 showing some results with my new KT333 based board?

Also how do I post a screenshot of 3D mark2K1 after running it?

Not sure if this is the right place to post the question.

there should be a button on your keyboard marked printscreen push this and it will copy the entire screen to your clipboard.....then paste into paint and edit what you want, save file to hdd, then when you post attach the file....

where can i found the clipboard? >_<

the clipboard is the "location" where windows stores anything that you attempt to copy...when you higlight something and say ctrl-c then its been copied to the clipboard and when you say ctrl-v you paste it from the clipboard...

This is a test, hope it turns out OK.

Edit: crap, it didn't work. I think the file is too large. It was 2.25MB, I went into paint and edited it but only got it down to 1.75MB. Isn't the limit 1.04MB? If so how do I make the image a smaller size file?

You are saving it as a bitmap. Bitmaps are per pixel images that take up a lot of space, convert it to a Jpeg and keep it under 50k. Nobody likes a bandwidth hogging image...

Just some FYI stuff... but if you press JUST Print Screen it will capture the whole screen... then you have to edit it to get the sandra or 3dmark screen... if you press alt+print screen you'll capture JUST the active window... in sandra that would be JUST the bench results screen (not the whole program) and the same goes for 3dmark... little time saver :D
