I've been trying to send a screenshot.
I press "printscreen" when I'm at the desktop
I open MSPaint
I go Edit/Paste
Up it pops (with a message about it being too big but from the info on Sal's site I choose "Yes" to open it up. "No" doesn't work either.)
Then (and this is the prob) when I go File/Save or Save as, I get a box comes up and "save as file type" only has options for bitmaps and gifs?

I tried naming the file and then putting ".jpg" after it but of course it's still saved as a bitmap which is too big.
*sigh* Tried a dozen times last night until I had pulled all my hair out and went to bed. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? TIA........m

Edit: Just read your post properly try pasting it into program like IrfanView found here (http://www.irfanview.com/) and save it as a JPEG from there
