When you press Alt+PrinSreen it copies the screen to clipboard. You need to open anykinda imagesoftware (Paint, Photoshop etc...) and Paste. There's your image.

Correct, then you save it as a jpeg using one of those programs. But this is the reason we suggested Screen Hunter or Snag It. Both are free and both make the jpgs for you.

What program did you use to save it? I need to know that before i can tell you how to save it as a jpeg.

You really need to reinstall msn so we can chat about all your techy issues via IM, much easier. :)

On the "TO" tab change the setting to jpeg. I forgot that it defaults to GIF and that I changed teh setting to JPEG
