ok, first question I have is asked alot, but for some reason I cant find the post in here with the answer. I know you can press the "Print Screen" button to take pics of downloads etc, but from that point what do I do next?

Secondly, and for some reason I have a hard time getting this one answered, but ill ask again. I would like to become a LEGAL beta tester for Microsoft so that I can try out their products including Whistler if at all possible. Regardless , can someone give me the exact link if possible to where I can go to get that setup? I have searched all over Microsoft's site , but havent found anything. Thx !

Hi Roody,

the 1st question.

After pressing print screen, open up a graphics program or, on the desktop, right click and select new, then bitmap image, then double click the icon on the desktop, (the new bitmap image will only create an icon on the desktop), then select edit then paste.
Also, I think pressing ctrl and print screen, will only select the active image onscreen instead of the whole desktop.

Hope this helps.

Hi Roody - Ispark is correct. There is, however, a freebie called Irfan View, which does an even better job of handling screen captures. You can find it here:
