Where do they go after you hit the print screen button. I'm running vista if it matters.

Clipboard. Paste them into any graphics program.

sorry going to have to be much more detailed. I've never messed with this kind of stuff.

I use MS paint.
1. You hit the print screen button
2. Switch to MS Paint or something else
3. Right click and paste (you will then have the screen shot in the other program)
4. Save file
5. Upload into the file into the AGEOD forum website

That's the procedure. For pasting, you can also simply use CTRL-V. And before you save the file, depending on the graphics program, you may want to copy only the relevant part of the screenshot, maybe reduce the resolution, and export/save as .jpg rather than .bmp, to reduce file size.
