Because when it comes to a lot of techie stuff, I am! lol!
Can anybody please explain to me how to take a screenshot?
I read somewhere, that you press the "prt sc" button on your keyboard, then open your paint program, and paste, and it is supposed to be there...
I have tried that and I get nothing...Then I read that if that didn't work, to press the "alt" and the "prt sc" buttons on the keyboard, then paste into paint program...I tried that too...still nothing.
So can anyone please explain to me, step by step, how to get a screenshot?
Thanks in advance.

I saw that you already have the solution there. And press alt + prt sc will work well. And actually you don't need to paste it on paint program. You can use it on word or excel program. Or any other program like photoshop as well. It also depend on what form that you open right now.
Good luck, oppss..wrong..you already did it !!
