I can't seem to be able to print screen, I have pressed the prnt screen button loads of times but it never works...I wanna take screenshot of the files in my documents as they seem large and I wanna make them smaller, or maybe that sjust default in xp to be big?
Thnx
XP can only be installed on one machine per license. Not sure which one is legal, but I would think he would be the one to have problems if he tries installing it on another machine.Quote:

Ive tried pasting it into paint and photoshop but neither work, it's weird.Quote:

It's only the files in my documents it seems, they are quite big and not as small as when they are on the desktop.
BTW, might wanna sort out ya PM box, just tried replying to ya pm and got
''imaeditedbysowulo has exceded their stored private messages quota and can not accept further messages until they clear some space''
Well no, but the original receipt for the machine was in his name pressumably so unless he's given you that you don't 'own' it, & as I said s/w isn't generally transferable, & I'll give you just one guess on what he wanted the disk for ;) ( i don't care, I just wanted you to be 'aware' that strictly speaking etc ..)Quote:

& as for reason for doing it, that sounds like you want to pick the 'appearance tab' on properties of your display & get experimenting a kb for youQuote:
To make Print Screen work, you must save an image of what's displayed on-screen to the clipboard and then paste it into a document where it can be printed.
Windows Help: Print Screen
To do this, follow this procedure:
1. Maximize the window you'd like to capture.
2. To copy/capture the current window, hold down ALT + Print Scrn at the same time. To capture the entire screen, just press Print Scrn.
3. Open a new document in MS Word, MS Photo Editor, or Adobe PhotoShop.
4. Paste the screen shot by holding down CTRL and V at the same time.
5. Print the document when you're finished pasting screen shots.

For printing the screen you could temporarily use Analog X's capture program, you can capture the active window or the entire desktop. capture program
How bout this for the size....click on View and then click on Details. Does that make it any better or are you talking about something else? Maybe you could take a snapshot of what it looks like and post it if I'm on the wrong track.
*edit*....or try what -ed said ^^^^^.
As a btw there's zillions of screen capture programmes about, just google ;) & quite a bit of cross posting going on too ! :DQuote:

Seems I solved the size thing, I went to view and clicked on 'icons', before it was on 'tiles'...Thnx
New prob tho :]
Outlook express won't let me configure my email accounts...On windows 98 I just downloaded the auto config from my servers cpanel and double clicked it and it worked in OE, but it won't work now for some reason...Any ideas?
Thnx
Also, whats best way to theme my desktop? How would I do it? Thanks
Houllier - go sort yourself out a legal copy of xp. What the seller did was illegal. You will need your xp cd to do a number of things.
As for the oe problem the download was from your isp? Did you get the one for xp - do they even have one for xp? They should have instructions on how to do it manually.
