Help With Printscreen.

[Bill]

Anybody clued up on screenshot, printscreen etc. ??

 

Downloaded screenshot and it works but whenever i send it anywhere "my pictures", "my documents", and even to "clipboard" it arrives as a HTML or an ASP WHATS ASP,?? and wont open, or when they do they are all letters and numbers.??

They dont look like anything i copied, I have also tried playing around with the settings by changing the file names jpeg and jiff and such, but doesnt change anything, some i still cant open, and those that i can open are unreadable.

 

Appreciate some tips on what to do but only if you have time available, i dont want to trouble anybody too much.

 

Cheers for any info ............. Bill.

if your printscreening a picture, when printscreened copy it into paint, thats what i usually do

[Bill]

What about text in a table or a frame ?? cos the frame disappears and leaves all the text in a mess.

 

Does printscreen give you the option to download it to paint. ?

There's two set ups I know of - Printscreen can either:

Print an exact image of what the screen looks like through the picture

or

Copies the exact image of what the screens look like so that you can paste it into paint

 

How do you mean you 'downloaded screenshot' ?

Tried printscreen first but then got screenshot cos it gives you the whole page instead of just whats on screen.

Got it free download off the web, in the settings it gives you four destinations to send the screenshot.

 

1. Clipboard

2. Printer

3. Via e'mail

4. to File

 

I want to keep as files but it always goes to a screenshot folder as an ASP file and cannot open it for some reason, dont even know what an ASP FILE is. I have had it on Clipboard but cant do anything with it.

Where did you download screenshot from? I've never heard of it :\

[Bill]

MikeO gave i me the web address for printscreen but i went for screenshot which is an advance on it and gives you the whole page if there is more than what you can see on the monitor.

But it doesnt matter now cos i've found a crackin one, its called MWSnap it changes the file format for you and automaticly sends it wherever you want, you can set the size of the area you want to capture or just capture the whole page, auto save to wherever, and most of all its simple. Doesnt give me any probs at all. :D

Thanks for all your help those that offered.

I didnt know you needed a program to do that, I just thought you pressed print screen on your keyboard

[Bill]

I should think the New PCs have something built in, but unfortunately mine is from the Archives, its a bit like me. :D

 

Try the MWSnap one its a free download i have set it to Auto downsize 900 x 600 its always there in the Bottom bar, the icon is a camera, whatever is on the the screen just click the icon and its sent straight to My pictures, already downsized.........

 

MY DESKTOP

 

 

 

I'm like a dog with two dicks at the moment, have never been able to do that. Its so easy.

 

I'm easily pleased. :lol:

 

Thanks again to those who offered their help.

Look at the Internet Explorer Icon, Licker has Renamed it to 'Porn Explorer' HaHa, oj.

Ive always just gone Ctrl/Printscreen -> Had paintshop Pro or Adobe Cs open -> Then right click -> Paste the fuker as a new image in to the open prog (adobe/Paintshop) -> open the crop tool, cut to how 1 wants, save as whatever & Bill's ya uncle.

 

Takes like 3 seconds

[Bill]

Dont need paintshop or anything else Matt, in the settings you programme it to go straight into your pics. The whole screen or any square or rectangle drawn on any part of the screen that you want, and its set to auto save into my pics.

 

Try it and see how easy it is. No software to download you just download the programme in about 30 seconds and it pops up in your task bar as a camera.
