You don't. Instead, you upload the image to a web server somewhere, then include a link to it in your message.

There are plenty of free online storage services where you can save a file which is a screen/window capture. Then put a link to that file in your post.

One doesn't post images in text-only newsgroups ... period. If you feel unable to restate the error message in words then place the image on s website and post a link to it here with an explanation of the circumstances associated with the error generation.

You cannot post images here, but images of errors are certainly helpful, so here is a method to share yours: To create and email/post/print a screenshot: Press the Print Scrn button to copy your entire screen to the Windows clipboard. Press Alt Print Scrn to copy just the active window to the Windows clipboard. Open MS Paint: Start, Programs, Accessories, Paint When Paint opens, press CTRL-V to paste the clipboard, save the new Paint file to your desktop or someplace you can remember. JPG files take up less hard disk space than BMP files and are just as readable. Make as many screenshots as you need. Practice makes perfect. Be careful your screenshot does not contain any personal information. Practice viewing your images before you upload them to be sure they are okay. Some sites will let you attach a file directly to your post. If the site has some kind of attachment/upload function it is usually easiest just to use it. If there is no such function in your message board to upload files, then use a free third party image hosting WWW site. Create a free account on some free picture hosting web site. You can always remove your account later if you want. Here are some free image hosting sites: http://www.imageshack.us/ http://photobucket.com/ Using your free account, upload your screenshot(s) (the JPG or BMP files) to the site and it will return to you a URL web address (a Direct Link) for your new image(s) which you can paste the Direct Link in a message post, email, etc. Post that Direct Link web address back here in your response and we can click on the link address and see your screenshot. Post as many as you need - the sites are free. When you are done, what you post for others to use should look something like this: http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/6530/taskmanagerv.jpg |
