VirtualKid, if you hold down the following 3 keys: Apple, Shift and 3 then the Mac will take a screenshot of your entire desktop.

If you hold down Apple, Shift and 4 then a "target" type of pointer will show. Place this pointer at the upper-left of what you want to take a picture of, hold down the mouse button and drag the mouse to the bottom-right of the image. When you let go of your mouse button you will have your new image. smile

If you're using an Apple keyboard, it's on the bottom row, 3rd button from the left (has a picture of an apple on it). On a PC keyboard it's probably labeled Command but I don't remember and no longer have my PC keyboard.

You can also do command-shift-4 to create a little X which you then drag around a portion of the screen, and it captures just that portion when you let go smile
Source: I have a Mac and use command-shift-4 regularly smile

OK. I have a hp computer. Do I do the same thing? Do I have to be ONLINE to do it? I have ONLY taking 1 "screen shot" since I have had my computer. And that took me MONTHS to figure it out. So ANY tips is APPRECIATED.
IF I have to be ONLINE, how do I get this game to load ONLINE? Does it have a "online" button, like Tri-Peaks Solitaire, The Quest of the Ruby Ring,does? Will I be CHARGED AGAIN for the game to get it "online" to take a "screen shot"?

Your computer runs Windows, you you'll need to use the instructions for Windows given here: How to post a picture.

The games run on your computer, not online.
