The start menu is the menu that pops up when you click on the symbol/button in the menu bar at the bottom left corner of your screen.


In this menu will be an item called 'all programs' click on this and you'll get a folder list. Within this folder list will be one called 'accessories', click on this and you'll get a list of the programs, one of which will be 'paint'.


Once you have pressed the prt scr button then open the paint application and go directly to 'paste' in the edit menu.


Save the file somewhere where you can find it again.


Then come on here, start a new post, click on 'attach a file or photo', browse to the location and select it, then click on attach.


Bob's your uncle.

Yes, that is paint! Now you might have to press the prtscrn button again to capture your screen. Once you've done this, go back to paint again and click ctrl+v - this should paste the screen capture into the big box. If it does, save it as a file somewhere by pressing ctrl+s. Then if it doesn't need any further cropping you can upload it to the forum.

OK...first trying out H's proposal...


just need to cut and paste this otherwise I keep having to switch pages and losing the instructions' spot...


Oh Jesus have mercy...

f-uck...nothing happens when I press prtscn and the paint page stays blank and when I click on paste another box comes up saying picture library and it wants a file name...sorry, my pea brain is not cut out for this...


Bob's your uncle my backside...


sorry, but I'm getting really grumpy now...I am going to have to leave it...I feel like throwing the computer out of the window...


SS thank you too - sorry but words like crop and powerpoint are Swahili too...



Thanks everyone...forget about it...I'm going to have to wait till hubby gets home...

Yeh it is getting a bit convoluted, if you don't have any luck uploading your screenshot LM maybe you should just force quit the Help and Support window that is obscuring your screen and get rid of the damn thing??? If you want to do that press ctrl+alt+delete which will bring up the task manager. In the 'Applications' tab Choose Help & Support then click 'End Task'. If you don;t see it there, hop over to the 'Processes' tab and see if you can find it there. If you can, select it and click 'end Process'. If you've no idea what the feck is going on, then enjoy your dinner?

    • Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.
    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.
