Downwind66 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) Do you currently have a Microsoft Paint program on your Windows 7 platform? It's fairly simple once you do a couple of them. Paint is used to process/modify/store your pics. I say, modify, that just means your are going to be reducing the size of the pics to make them compatible with this site and others when sharing your pics with others! Once I know you have paint or similiar, I can then give you the basics steps. Oh and when you say Amazingly still running Windows 7, I too am running Windows 7 and will be to the day I have to upgrade. Works fine for me! Rick This shot was created on Windows 7 and Paint!!

jorgen.s.andersen Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 There is a little freeware program called Irfanview, that will do everything that Paint does, only better. My computer cannot live without it. Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnuss Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I think (it's been a while) that you press CTRL-V to get a screenshot, which goes under your user folder. Larry N. As Skylab would say: Remember: Aviation is NOT an exact Science! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il88pp Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 press for screenshot. (you can assign a different key of course.) or use 'Snapper' small program to take screenshots. ​(by Michiel Overtoom). link: https://www.michielovertoom.com/software/snapper/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgen.s.andersen Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 You can also hold down your Windows key and then press "Print". The screenshots will then be in \Pictures\Screenshots Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Hi Jörgen, or on some keyboerds: + saves the screenshot only to clipboard. (I think... but pretty sure really.) To save it you would then also have to paste it in a program like paint for example. (Into a blank image of the correct size.) Not convenient while flying. I'm not near a PC, so cant check it now, sorry. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgen.s.andersen Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 On my Windows 10 the screenshots goes to \Pictures\Screenshots by default, Windows 7 should be the same, but since I have never run 7, only 8, 8.1 and 10 I cannot be sure. And if you are a MS Paint user, you should try out Irfanview. IMNSHO Irfanview runs rings around Paint, and at least the price is right.
