How to Screenshot for Vista

[TGNxBen]

Even though taking a screenshot on Vista is very simple, many people don't know how to do it. So here it is, short and to the point.

1. Click the START button and search for "snipping".
2. A programme called "snipping tool" will appear, click on it.
3. The screen will go White, just click and drag over the bit you want to take a picture of and release the mouse button.
4. The picture will now appear on the programme. Just click save and your done.

( if you want to retake a picture, click on the NEW button and the screen will turn White again, ready for you to retake).

..Or just press "print screen" on your Keyboard.

You'd be surprised who doesn't. Yes Karl, but with my computer that's a bit dodgy and doesn't always work, this is what I do and it always works.

This guide seems rather useless as the majority of people do know how to use the "PrtSc" button and crop in paint if necessary. With that being said this guide is also useful if you are looking for an alternative to doing that, i'm sure most people don't know of the method you just posted here.

If you are looking to improve this guide you should first start with pictures. Show where to type in the programs name, what the program looks like and pictures of you using this program. After that is done work with your font. Add bold/italicize/underline etc. in the correct places. Play with font color/size until you get a look that is easy to read and matches everything else nicely.

Last but not least, improve your grammar and spelling. I found a few mistakes in the short words that you wrote, a quick example being "programme" it should be spelled program.

Keep trying to make guides and improve as you go

Thanks for the advise, but, as you can see I'm from the UK, and program here is spelt programme. So understand our spelling language before commenting on it. Thanks. And I didn't put pictures incase that underminded/ took offence, to people, showing them where the start button is.. But I will edit the looks of the guide, so thank you.
