What is the error message you received when trying to view 1, 2, & 3? Maybe there is a clue in that message that could lead us to resolve the problem for you.

Texannie: The difference between the first set of links and the second is simply that I manually found the IP address of img.photobucket.com and used that in place of the name. Since you are able to see them, I have to suspect you either have photobucket.com blocked in a firewall setting or your DNS server is not able to resolve it properly for you. How to resolve this is going to depend on which problem it is. I would suggest you look through your firewall settings first to see if you somehow inadvertently blocked the name photobucket.com and remove it if you can. Let me know if this works out or you need to explore the DNS thing instead.
Chewpito: If you are using Internet Explorer, you can turn off that option if you want. If so, let me know and I'll post instructions how to do so.

Chewpito: If you click on 'Tools - Internet Options' then click on the 'Advanced' tab. Set the options you see below in yellow just as you see them marked in this image:

Mainly for web developers to see where they have problems in their programming. Most users have no need to see the error messages normally anyway.

I must be missing something. How do you take a picture of the screen?

Redhalo: You can download and install a program called IrfanView from HERE to use for capturing the entire screen, active window, or the content of an active window. This program can be set to automatically capture at 1 second (or more) intervals or you can use a hot-key to manually capture. Note: If you are seeking to capture video from programs such as RealPlayer, you'll need to configure the settings in that program to allow the video to be captured. (PS: I've heard some people just grab their digital camera and take an actual picture of the screen! lol)

Texannie: Yes, I saw your message. As I mentioned earlier, the image on the toystore site returns the message "The image “http://www.bulktoystore.com/images/products/91250.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." which cannot be resolved with the same fix. The site is going to need to figure out the problem with their image and repost it on their server.

Cowgirl, it takes a bit of getting used to but it's second nature once you do it a few times Go to the top IRfanView menu and the choose "Options" pulldown menu. Click on "Capture/Screenshot" and that pulls up a pup-up page. Under "Capture Method" go through the choices until you find a key combination you like. I use "Alt + Down". What that means is when I'm ready to screencap, all I have to do is hold down the "alt" key plus the "down" key and it takes my pic. Back to the menu, next go to the bottom where it says "Saving Method". You can either choose the top option to show the pic you just capped in the viewer...or the bottom option which will automatically put the capped pic in a folder you set up. Once you've figured all that out, choose "Start" and you're ready to go. The main thing to keep in mind is that you have to have the window active (clicked on) that you want to take pics of. So in this case make sure that Real Player is always clicked on, not TVCH or something else. Then when you see a pic you want to screencap, just click your "Capture Method" keys. You should hear a bomp sound if you got it. Then you can pull the capped pic into your viewer and resize it down to a good posting size too. You can just click on a corner and pull the square to what you want left of the pic, and then choose "ctrl + y" to crop it. Or you can go in and manually choose a size through the "Image" pulldown menu. It sounds like a lot but it really takes more to explain it than to do it...lol.

Cowgirl, I remember that problem the first time I used it too but for the life of me I can't remember what Dra said the fix was. I did notice in my real player tool settings under preferences that I had the "Video Card Compatibility" under "Hardware" turned down to Most Reliable instead of Best Performance. I don't remember now if that's what fixed the problem with the black screen or if I did it for some other reason though. It's something to check maybe until Dra gets back to this thread

Freckledgrl has it exactly right. You must lower your video setting to 'Most Reliable' (or whatever the lowest setting is) in order to capture the screen with programs like IrfanView.

For Windows 98 and ME users - from Kim Komando's Tip of the Day July 6, 2006 Maintaining peripheral equipment Q. Zone Labs will be ceasing support of Windows 98. Short of buying a new computer, what are my firewall options? A. You're right; Zone Labs is no longer supporting 98 in its new products. The same goes for Windows ME, the successor to 98. Older products will continue to work on those operating systems. But Zone Labs says it may end support of the older products at any time. So, you definitely to need to move on if you're sticking with 98. Agnitum still has a firewall for older systems, Outpost Free. http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpostfree/index.php In addition, McAfee Personal Firewall Plus ($40) and Norton Personal Firewall 2005 ($50) are available. Nonetheless, I think you are living on borrowed time. These old Windows systems are going the way of the carrier pigeon. Developing software is expensive. These companies need a big base of customers to make development worthwhile. Actually, an out-of-date firewall is the least of it. Microsoft has announced it will no longer provide security updates for 98 and ME. That is really dangerous. What are your options? You need to move to Windows XP. Theoretically, you could upgrade your old machine. In practice, that's a bad idea. After upgrading, you'll have an old, slow and possibly unreliable machine. I strongly recommend a new computer, which will probably cost you less. I wrote a Killer Tip about this in a recent newsletter. Take a look at that. ME and 98 have reached the end of the line, I'm afraid. Want more tips? Visit my site! www.komando.com Kim

Why do I have such weird problems with my computer? OK, I have whined about my mouse problem before. It is so bizarre. For no apparent reason it will intermittantly stop working. You click and click and then click and it will work OR you click and 5 windows pop up. It gets really fun playing free cell! Then out of the blue it will stop. For a while, if I cleared my temp internet files that would help. I also run a spyware scan and know that's not it. My virus protection is up to date. I checked the connections and all seem good and tight. It's a ball less mouse, but I have checked that and it's a relatively knew mouse and the problem happend with the previous mouse too. What in the world could it be??
