Saving your screenshot as a picture:
1) Open the Windows Paint Program.
2) Hold down the CTRL key and tap the letter V. You will see your snaphot appear on the empty paint page
3) You may have to grab hold of the pic by holding down the left mouse button and then move it around slightly so that the desired area of the snapshot is in view.
4) Goto the file menu and select the Save As option.
5) A normal Save box will appear (displayed below). Enter any filename but see step 6 before clicking the OK/Save button.
6) See the screenshot below. Immediately below where you have entered the filename is a drop down menu. By default its says that the file will be save as a .BMP .. This is bad. Pull down the menu and select .JPG as in the diagram below.
