Yes... I am a huge geek when it comes to loving obscure Japanese video games.

hmmm... ok just a thought, don't get insulted if this is too obvious. you have to press "shift+print screen" and then open something like windows paint and just paste with ctrl+v. then you can save the image.

^ So if you just hit the Print Screen key (you actually don't need to hold down Shift, Alt, Ctrl or anything), and then go directly into something like MSPaint or Photoshop, and go to Edit, there is no option to paste?

If that doesn't work, what operating system are you using? If it is Windows XP, try going to Control Panel > Accessibility Options > select the Keyboard tab > turn off 'Use FilterKeys'. After that, it should work. If not...

Stick with Windows 98SE. It's the most stable product Microsoft has ever put out. As a bonus, it also doesn't rape your system resources like Windows XP. Games run faster, programs needing large ammounts of memory are dealt with better.... actually, after typing all of this, I'm wondering why I'm even using Windows XP myself.

And don't "lol" at Windows 98SE MercedesAMG, you're just showing that you're a n00b.

And if you ever decide to go to Windows XP, don't try an "upgrade" without completely formatting. Whipe the drive and do a fresh install - doing anything else causes nothing but major nightmares.

I'd say it'd be a hella lot cheaper and easier to buy a second hard drive to copy it all to.

It's pretty straight forward. You need to have both a smaller version (say 800x600) and a larger version (1024x768+) of your desktop.

Write the code like this:
Insert link to full image here[/b]][img]Insert link to small image here[/img]
Put text "Click for fullsize" here.

It's basically just a image tag with a link tag wrapped around it.
