You mean, how to create a screenshot? Just hold down the ALT key then tap "Printscreen" on the keyboard to copy the active window to the clipboard. Then open MSPaint (or whatever image editor you use) and PASTE (Ctrl-V or Edit > Paste) in the image. Once your screen capture is in MSPaint, save it as a JPG file. Then upload the JPG file to your webspace. Then use [tt][img][/tt]%20and%20%20[tt][/img][/tt] around the location of the JPG file, for example, to display my pickdir.JPG file:
Code: Select all
[IMG]http://home.att.net/~wymette/files/pickdir.JPG[/IMG]


For an image already on the web, like Ramona's, right-click the image and choose "Copy Image Location" to get the URL, which is http://home.att.net/~cherokee65/custom3.jpg and then enter that between the IMG tags.

Just Quote my post with the screenshots to see all that or check out the BBCode link from the "Post a Reply" page.

netscape won't load

Postby slaird » Mon 01 Nov, 2004 11:37 pm

I worked on this same problem for 3 days before running across this advice:

--Note that it is important that you remove the C:\Program Files\Common Files\mozilla.org\GRE folder before reinstalling Netscape 7.2. --

This was the key to solving my problem, too. I've even finally gotten my old e-mail files back.

Now if I could just recover my address book.

I'm glad that you ran across this thread and found the above advice. The problem is caused by a flaw in the Netscape 7.xx (and Mozilla) installer that will not add the registry entry necessary for Netscape to find the GRE folder, if the GRE folder already exists. Details here (from the UFAQ link I gave earlier):

Here is an earlier thread you can look over, in case it helps:

Alice,
you are mentioning websites, and I don't have a webpage. I know how to get a Screen Capture,but it is on the hard drive.
I have had no problem sending the screen capture as a mail attachment. However, I must be missing something on how to place the file here.
But, I will reread your instructions.

Fulvio,
The most important step is to upload the JPG file to your webspace, so that you can create an IMG link to it. If you have no webspace then you are out of luck.

I do not have a webpage. I will work on that. At least I feel good that I did not miss anything by a mile. Thanks.
