3. Okay. They are not saved anywhere in windows, you have to

paste them into a program that edits graphics, PSpro, photoshop, Gimp, lots of cameras come with one... something like that..

Then you can save them wherever you want.

4. It goes to the system clipboard

You then need to open a image editing program, and paste it into the program

7. Oooh, a computer question I actually know...

I had this same question a while ago, and the explanations didn't make much sense at first either, because people assumed I had more knowledge than I did. Here's how you do it, step by step:

Hit your "Print Screen" button. That saves the image of your screen in a buffer. Unfortunately you can't find it in a file somewhere - you have to paste it back out of the buffer to see it. So, next:

Open an art program, say Photoshop, and open a new document.

Then hit Ctrl-V or go to the menu and select "Paste." That should paste your screen shot into your new document.

Good luck.....

8. do this

go to download.com

type "screenhunter"

download the free version..
install.
run.
enjoy! ;)

It is very easy..just open the program, and navigate through the menus to choose where you want pictures stored (I chose the desktop). It will have a button you press to capture the desktop (F6) for me. Just press standby to minimize the program, then hit your "capture" key. The pic should be caught and displayed in a new icon on the desktop.
