A Preferred Method Of Uploading/Posting Screen Shots
Feb 22, 2009
The method used by most to upload screen shots and pictures is saving it in .jpeg/jpg/jpe format and by using the Snipping Tool and the Attachments (paperclip) at the top of the Reply Box.
If you do not know about the Snipping Tool, please read this Tutorial on it.
How to use the Snipping Tool in Vista - Vista Forums
To start, use the Snipping Tool or whatever screenshot program you prefer and save it as a .jpeg/jpg/jpe.
When you are ready to include a screen shot in your thread/post, click on the paperclip in the reply box, where it will go to the Manage Attachments page.
From there, click on the browse button to open up the File Upload window.
Insert you image and click on The Upload button to the right.
You can also upload the file from a url.
Now, close the Attachment window at the top right.
For some reason... When ever I put my curser of an icon on the task bar, windows 7 doesn't show the screen shot of the window in use... Instead it just names the titles of my window!!
I have a laptop , windows 7 , HP IE and when I post something and hit enter I get musical sounds , sometime trupets . where is that coming from ? Never had it before
the windows installer is not posting application installs. I see dates in the control panel of install but no volume/meg counts. I have one program I use all the time -fenderfuse - and I cannot get it to work. Most everything else is okay as I installed them a while back and these programs are working. I found 4 virus's yesterday and the virus checker could not put them in the vault so I was able to delete them. The virus detector wanted to check all my boot files. It found several corrupt boot files items and could not repair them. I was able to deleted them, When I check users,rose - application data is missing. I downloaded windows performance kit and windows sdk v7, I believe someone told me to do this so that I can fix my problems but not sure what to do and I didn't put the tech site in my favorites folder so I'm not happy with myself. I do see some debugging tools for windows .64 so I will check that out. I also have microsoft silverlight installed.
Ok so it took 2 days and now i have finished downloading windows 7 build 7600.16384(yes my internet sucks).
So is there a Preferred method of upgrading it?
I m currently running 7600.16384 and now i want to upgrade it to 7600.16385(RTM). I know a clean install is always recommended but i just did a clean install with 7600.16384 a week ago, So i dont want to bear that pain to reinstall it again.

I am looking to buy a Western Digital "Elements" 2TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive from Amazon.The place I want to sit the EHD will not reach my laptop with the provided USB cable, I will need a few more feet. This EHD comes with external power, but I'm not exactly sure if a regular USB extension will do the job 'safely'. I've been reading something about a "USB repeater", but I have no idea what that is or where I should find one.Also, is it a good idea to buy an EHD online? They are a little fragile while powered.. but while off, they should be safe no matter what happens to the package, right?
I've changed the location of my Chrome user profile folder, and created a shortcut which has �user-data-dir=�d: ew chrome user directory location" appended to its target. But when Chrome is opened any other way than via this shortcut, for instance when launching a web page file saved to my computer, Windows opens Chrome with the old profile. How can that be fixed?

I have cFosSpeed installed and it says that my PC is uploading at 40 kB/s. But I do not know what program is uploading. Is there any software that tells me what processes are uploading and how fast the uploading processes are uploading?
My laptop has not be hooked up for over a year and just got comcast/infinity.I use blingee - gimp and site to store photos.My photos have stopped uploading.Sometimes I get a http error?
I was uploading a photo to Facebook when my computer suddenly stopped responding. I cancelled the program and while doing so the laptop completely froze.After shutting down the laptop the laptop loads until the "starting windows" message and then turns into the black screen of death.No other options work including starting in safe mode and I cannot back my data to DVD R becuse windows 7 won't accept a DVD R.How can I back up my data and get my computer working again?
No matter if I use Chrome or Firefox my computer freezes and ends up to "not responding" if the browser opens up initially on desktop folder for uploading a file to any websites.
I have just bought a new laptop with Windows 7. I have thoasands od photos and many home movies stored on USB sticks. Problem is when I plug it in there is no option to select which files I would like to copy. I have looked in the settings and can not find the option, it just copies all which I don't want that.
It also saves them by date and not in the named files I have them in on the key.The same with my camera, I use photos for Ebay and on XP would select the ones I wanted, saved to a file and then could easily adjust them. Now it just wants to copy them all. Also can you suggest a user friendly program for adjusting my photos.
I need to be able to upload jpeg files to our website and the software package I use for that requires that the filename be entered in lower case in the format "filename.jpg". However, I've recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and note that JPG is being added in uppercase after my typed fileneme so that I end up with "filename.jpg.JPG" which is rejected by the uploading software. My web designer tells me that this is attributable to automatic file type recognition in Windows 7, and not to the upload software. How can I switch that off?

I have a HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop running Vista. I would like to upgrade it to run Windows 7. What is the benefit/downside to purchasing an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 for the HP laptop vs purchasing a new Windows 7 license (other than cost)?
how to solve before mentioned issue......i am trying to install aethros n/w adapter for my hp-g60 127nr notebook on Windows 7 platform...i have downloaded the .inf file but unable to install it..
I have had more than my share of instances requiring a forced restart, because of one thing or another locking up the system, so that none of the usual methods of restarting are available. I think that I already know the answer, but nevertheless, I will ask...is there any hardware/software that can perform a NORMAL restart on a frozen system?
All of the forums and postings say you can't upgrade from XP to Windows 7. I bet you can in the following scenario...
"Borrow" a Vista Upgrade Disk (any flavor above Basic). Upgrade XP to Vista w/o entering a key. Within the 30 day "keyless" grace period, upgrade Vista to Windows 7 using any flavor of Upgrade Disk entering the Windows 7 upgrade key. You may get some issues in the compatibility check but they can probably be worked around.
Since there are no Windows 7 Retail Disks to try this out on, this can't be verified.
This also assumes that there is something to be gained by upgrading from XP. My advice..... Do a clean install.
Tell me why this wouldn't work if you know that for sure.
am a school teacher and my school is trialling 1:1 computing with some students.Essentially, classmate pcs from intel with windows 7 enterprise. Yesterday at about the same time, all the students find that they cannot log into their classmate pcs, with the error "You cannot log on because the logon method you are using is not allowed on this computer. Please see you network administrator for more details."Now this is very strange - the students have been using their machines for about 2 months to date without any error. How and why did they suddenly act up, altogetheI took a machine that has not been issued out, and found that I could log in. Then I found that it is not connected to our wireless as we changed our password a few weeks back. So I keyed in the password, got connected, and logged off and log in again - this time it shows the error. At first I thought it could be a windows update messing things up, but this small experiment indicates that this is not likely as the wireless was connected only for a minute at most before i logged off. We did not change any group policies.
i would like to free up as much space as i can, so i want to know if there is a way i can just burnt the information on the recovery drive onto a disk or thumb drive and turn the 11.5 gigs they are using for it into unallocated space. could i click and drag the files from within it, onto a thumb drive?
I was able to activate my Windows 7 Home Premium through the phone method. However recently I attempted to activate Windows 7 on another computer and after calling the automated number and reading the code, the system is unable to verify it. However I noticed something strange. Upon trying different activation keys, the 9 segment code to be read back to the automated system doesn't change. No matter what activation key I use, the code remains the same. Could this mean something, as to why I am unable to activate my copy of Windows 7?
Recently my pc from HP died and I all have is an upgrade disk that i used to go from win 7 home to win 7 ultimate. my HDD is shot and so I need to relapse it, but with only my upgrade disk at hand, will the double install method still work to get me up and running again?
I have 40 units of computers use Windows 7, but often get the virus, so having to reinstall that take a long time. Is there an easier and shorter to copy windows 7 into a computer without having to re-install? like to copy only the harddisk computer?
I wish to partition my rebuilt PC into C: (OS only), D: (games and utilities), and E: (data) drives, my intention being to make future upgrades or OS reinstalls easier. (The machine currently only has one HDD.)Therefore I want to move C:users to the E: partition. I've already searched for ways to do this and there are seemingly three ways of going about it:1. Change the value in My Documents->Properties->Location tab as described here: Move Your Data to a Safer, Separate Partition in Windows 7 | PCWorld3. Leaving C:users where it is and using a symbolic link to E:users as described here: Move the Users Directory in Windows 7Is there a consensus on the 'best' method for doing this? If not, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each of the above methods?
