Starting with Windows 7 there is a program called Snipping Tool that comes with Windows. It's very easy to use. When you open the program you can drag you mouse to select a portion of the screen with it then copies and you can save it to your computer.
If it's before Windows 7 you'll have to print screen and use paint. On your keyboard there should be a key that is either labeled "Print Screen" or "Prt Scr," it's usually located to the right of the F keys. All you have to do is hit this button and it copies your entire screen. Then you can open Paint (which comes with all versions of Windows. If you're on an OS before Windows 7 it will be in the Accessories folder, Windows 7 and after you can just search "paint" from the start menu to find it) and hit Ctrl+V to paste the screen shot into Paint and save it to your computer.
Once you save it, you should be able to follow the instructions in Post 5 to upload to TinyPic without an issue.

I have Windows 7 and I have no idea what this snipping tool is that you speak of. I just use Prt Scr (aka Print Screen), located on the top row of my keyboard, to the right of the Function (aka F) keys, like Vicky said. Then, I paste onto Paint, like she said.
Vicky, where can I find the snipping tools? I think prtscr+paint is easy enough but now I am curious about the tool! Thanks :)

Thanks :)"It's in Accessories in the start menu or you can just search for "snipping" and it should come up. I use to use the print screen method but I like the snipping tool because you snip any size section of your screen and save it all right there. It has a pen and a highlighter tool too, quite handy. Definitely one of my favorite new features in Windows 7. lol
this has to be the coolest tool in windows 7 O_O i totally didn't know about this =O
Whoa! That is awesome!!! Thanks!
Very cool...I see it all the time on my computer, and I keep thinking I should find out what this snipping tool is but I never do. Good to know. :)
Yes, finding the snipping tool was awesome!! But it hasn't helped me solve this stupid slider puzzle. Ugh!!

There is one mistake in Puzzle #46, which was a last minute correction/replacement. There are three books that are listed twice. You only have to find TWO of them.
Captain Cupcake, do you mean puzzle #46? #43 is crossword..
Vi wrote: "Captain Cupcake, do you mean puzzle #46? #43 is crossword.."Yes, Vi, I meant #46. Thanks for noting that. ☺
Puzzle45 for Cerulean AKA Hobbit Blue
Vicky wrote: "Sent in 46 for Pewter/Cadet Blue! :)"Oh, good. I'm finding too many books for some of the numbers and I'm about done trying to find where I've gone wrong. For the "two" I have found 3 different books. For "three", I found 4, for "six" I found 7. Ugh.

Good because I found three books that are shown twice and I've gone over and over trying to eliminate which one was wrong. I didn't read this until just now, though (I was doing the puzzle hours ago and then went for a long day at work). I've got other discrepancies in other numbers but hadn't really thoroughly figured out which was wrong and now I will since I know the "two" has an error already. Phew! It was making me so mad that I just gave up on the puzzle altogether. Time to go again!
Ugh, I'm still counting the same 4 different books for the "three." I have such a headache. I give up. Maybe tomorrow will have the answers.
I hope that the purple isn't driving you crazy!
Are your eyes crossed yet? Is your vision yet hazy?
Twelve cover pieces for you to maneuver,
if your cupcake score is to be an upward mover!
PUZZLE #47: - Twelve piece Slider puzzle is here. (SEVENS - Seven Letter Title)- Okay to post in thread. Please take a screen print and show the "Very good, you win." box. Please do NOT just post the bookcover.
