I got the same thing. How does one go about showing the actual desktop, anyway? I tried the 'Print Screen' button, as suggested in another thread, but all it did was give me the option to actually print the screen, I couldn't find a way to paste it to Paint or anything like that. -TD

The link wont work. The user has brought this to my attention, so its not a big deal. To show the screen, you need to press the Crtl+Print Screen, and then open up paint, and paste. From there, upload the image to whatever hosting site you use, and link away!

Once one gets to the Paint program > Click New

Then go to Edit & click Paste.

Make sure it is sized right 750 x 600

Then you can attach it.

This thread will be edited to remove the instructions

Nope, can't seem to make it work. Maybe I'll just take a pic of the computer with my digital camera and post that! -TD

Haha that's funny. If you do it, you will get refresh lines, unless you're cool like me and have LCD. If CRTL+print screen doesn't work try alt+print screen. I then open photoshop press ctrl+n, and it should automatically choose the size.

Refresh lines? Naw, the worst problem is the glare from the flash! And my monitor is an old CRT, so I guess I'm just not cool. And ALT+Print Screen on this screwy keyboard makes powerpoint open up. -TD

The background picture is of me when I had my mohawk a while ago (same as my display picture) and then I just photoshopped it a little.

That's one I haven't heard! We use the term 'Motorhead', and of course we call Petrol, gas. Hmm, 'Gashead'...doesn't quite work for me! Sounds like someone who expels noxious vapors out the mouth! (I know a few people like that!)

I change my desktop quite frequently. Sometimes it's cars (usually Fords, but the last one was of 3 Vipers on a racetrack) but most often it's either scenes of nature or picturesque European villages. -TD
