I use fraps to take screenshots. I got it somewhere from this forum.

Thats the button. After pressing it exit the game or Alt-Tab out of it and go to Paint or Paint Shop Pro or something and Edit->Paste to see it.

Use something like http://www.fraps.com to take multiple screenshots.

use the manage attachments button when posting to add the pic to your post.

sorry, still stuck, its way too big to upload, its only supposed to be 100 kb and its 1 mb? how do you change the size of the pic?

Its best not to post BMP files as these are uncompressed and are always too large. You really need to convert to Jpeg to be able to post pictures.

er... how do you do that? im a bit thick really

I use photoshop, but its real expensive (and way over the top), I only have it because of work. I guess there are plenty of cheap or free programs out there but I have never looked, you could try somewhere like download.com, its a good source of free programs.

Open the BMP file in paint, go to Save as, and where it says the file format below the name of you gave the screenshot, select JPEG from the drop down list and then click save. It will create a new screenshot so you will still have the BMP file too so make sure you delete that one.
