Angie, here's how to take a screen shot of your desktop:
1.) Press the "Prt Scn" button on your keyboard to take a snapshot of whatever is currently displayed on your screen. ("Prt Scn" button is the button just right of the F12 button if using a standard keyboard.
2.) Run any image/photo editing program, such as "Paint" or "Photoshop". I just use Paint (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint), as it's easy, quick, and simple to use.
3.) In Paint, go to Toolbar > Edit > Paste or press CTRL+V to paste the snapshot. It should now show your desktop snapshot in the frame,
4.) Save the image, preferably as a JPEG image. To do this, go to Toolbar > File > Save As and make sure the Save As Type is set to JPEG.
5.) Upload the image at
