I would like to get some help understanding a sleepyhead screenshot but don't know how to get it into the post. I've changed it from a png to a jpeg in windows paint, but still can't figure out how to get into the post. Thanks

Make sure it is full size in Paint before you save.

I don't use Paint since I have Windows 7 Snipping tool but this is how I do it.

Open the image to full size so it is easily read.
I use Vista snipping tool to create a screen shot and crop the image at the same time.
Prt/scr key will also take a screen shot if using XP. If laptop is used sometimes the Fn key has to be pushed at the same time as the prt/scr key
I think windows 7 Home Premium has the snipping tool, Basic may not.
Once the screen shot is created save it in jpg format.
Upload the image to a host site. I use Photobucket it is free, there are others.
Once the image is uploaded then copy the ENTIRE IMG address. Be sure to include the opening and closing IMG in brackets. Paste that copied address into a post here.
Use the preview button. If you can't see the image try again because if you can't see it we can't.

Are you using the snipping tool? I use screenhunter(free).
