Screenshots are easy to do, some people kind of make it too complex with, "control this and control that", (those are keyboard shortcuts and quite confusing for beginners).
It IS that button on the keyboard that says Pnt Scr Sys Rq (on mine anyway).

You hit that button one time on what you want a screenshot of, (I mean it captures everything, scrollbars, your issues, the clock etc.., your porno site tabs will be across the top..close them first..lol, EVERYTHING)! That puts it on the "clipboard" or copy.
Your basically doing a copy and paste.
Next, all you do is go to MS Paint or whatever image program you use, (I use Paint Shop Pro 7, also, if you have PhotoShop, then, shame on you, your well-to-do and also probably don't need to be told this, haha..just kidding!).

When you have MS Paint open or whatever image editing program, pic program, photo program.. (they're all the same, nothing fancy, every computer should or does have one, except possibly a custom built pc where they umm..gave you the bare minimum). Also, I'm not familiar with Macs but they should have one too, but not sure the name of it and the process of this stuff, tho it should be similar, they would definitely have everything you need tho. Then all you do is go to the "edit" button and "paste as new image" anyway, that's what Paint Shop Pro says, (mine). I see that Paint says Home > then, paste > and it has a drop down and just hit paste > again. Then to save it you name it whatever you want, when it says "save as type" you change that to jpg or jpeg, same thing, and give it a name of whatever (file name) and "save as" (or "save" the first time only) on your computer. You can also change the destination folder if you like, it doesn't have to be in some hard-to-get-to, hard-to-find-later, folder. That part is not to be under-stated, you have to learn to navigate on your computer to get to it to upload that pic, (not alot different than uploading a pic).
I did this screenshot in MS Paint, (it might just be called Paint) but I'm sure alot of people have it as it's a Microsoft program that comes with Windows everything. If you can't find Paint, just go to the start button or in earlier Windows just do a search in the search window for Paint and it will come up that way as well. This was the first time I've used Paint to do a screenshot, it really works very well and it's very easy.
