Thanks Samantha, but I have Windows Vista Home Basic Edition. Otherwise, it would have made doing screen shots a lot easier for me!

Thsts pretty cool; thanks for this - i didnt know about it!

I have Windows Vista Home Basic Edition dang it so it won't do it. But good to know if I am ever on one

Thanks, Samantha! I never knew how to find the snipping tool. Now I can snip away!

You are all welcome... for those who does have the snipping tool... it can be found in "Accesories"

Anyway... Vista is not so easy to figuer out and we need a lot of help from each other!

LOL

I still have windows XP. My computer is getting close to 6 years old but I keep hoping it will hold out a while longer and that I'll be able to skip VISTA. If not, I'll probably be looking here a long for VISTA information.

Fay,

Lets hope that your computer can hang on as rumor goes, they will be getting rid of Vista due to all the complaints around the glob.

Though I have not encounter any problems so far and I am sure its due to my computer Uncle in the US who "fixed" it up before sending it to me. These programs are not intuitive... I am still using XP (my favorite) when working on my documents... frankly speaking... who has the time these days to find the same things put in a different way to get the same result!

However the Snipping tool is cool... lol.. better than Paint to save screen shots
