i attempted to post a screenshot here at techspot and found that the file exceeded the limit. when i saved the screenshot (ms paint) i typed in the dialog box event viewer five.jpg and clicked save. i thought this screenshot could be posted here. should i have clicked the down arrow and chosen JPEG or BMP, or one of the other options? once my screenshot is made, and in my pictures, can i change or rename the type of file that it is, so that i can solve this problem and post. thanks, Ed
