For all OS X users who want to capture a screen:

Go to the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. Locate an application called 'Grab'. Open it, while open go to the dock and select to keep it in the dock for easy access later.
In Grabe choose 'Selections' from the menu. You will get a crosshair that will let you make a selection of the screen that you want to capture. Just drag it over the area. You can also choose to capture full screen.

Save the file. Done. You might want to open it in another graph application to change it to .jpg if needed.

There are probably other applications around that let you save as .jpg but this one comes with your mac.os software.

Also - we have posted this several times - Windows users of any Version (as far as I know) - you can capture the "Active" Window you are looking at by holding "Alt" and hitting "Print Scrren" (PrtScrn on my keyboard).

Then you can open up MS Paint (usually installed by default) and choose "Edit" , "Paste" and you should see the image. If you see a black screen then check the Real Player threads - you need to change a setting in your preferences.

Also, if you want to post - its best to save the images as JPG file type as that generally is the smallest file size - but it still looks fine on a computer screen.
