The Basic Way To Take A Screen Shot

Computers are fantastic tools. Every year they simply get better and better, and there is no end to what you can do with them. Compared to my first computer, the computers you can buy today are light years ahead as far as speed, technology, and capacity. There is literally no limit to what you can accomplish with today’s software and hardware.

Of course, nothing is perfect. Hardware sometimes has problems, and software almost always has some kind of issue. The trouble is that sometimes you get an error message that seems to be written in some kind of foreign language. Unless you are an master programmer in several computer languages, you probably won’t have any idea what the error message means. In this case, you’ll have to turn to the support system of the software publisher. This usually involves filling out a ticket, submitting it, and waiting for a response.

Usually, this system works pretty good. Most people generally have the same problems with widely published and popular software, so they can resolve issues rather quickly. But sometimes, when one of those cryptic error messages pops up, it doesn’t do much good to simply say you are getting some kind of error message. In this case, you’ll need to be a bit more specific.

A much better way to do this would be to take a screen shot. These are very easy to do, and will let the tech support person know exactly what is going on. There is button on your keyboard called “Print Screen,” or it may say “PrtSc.” Now this doesn’t technically print it out to a printer, but what it does do is save an image of your current desktop, exactly the way it is, to your clipboard. Once your clipboard has something on it, you can paste it.

Once your image is copied to the clipboard, you can paste it a couple of different ways. One is to paste it into “Paint,” which is the basic graphics program that comes with Windows. You’ll find it under the Start menu. Then click on “All Programs,” and then “Accessories,” and finally “Paint.” Once it’s open, simply right click anywhere inside, and paste. Once the image is pasted, save the new file, and send it as an attachment to your ticket.

Additionally, you can paste the image into a Microsoft Word document. Just open up a blank document, and then paste the image inside. The advantage of doing it this way is that you can add some comments under the image, and explain exactly what you were doing when you got that particular error message. Just be sure to save the document, and then send it as an attachment to your ticket or email.

This simple and easy method will make it much more likely that you will get your problem handled quickly and effectively. It’s also a great way to convey an idea when words alone won’t do the job.
