just wondering can anyone help me i downloaded a 3d animated screensaver and i was just wondering if it is possible to use it as my desktop backround
It's possible, that when the screensaver is running, to press the PRTSCRN button to capture the current pic on the screen. Then, open Paint, and paste..save as bmp. Saving a pic in Paint as a jpg, is probably the worst thing you can do, since Paint's jpg compression just plain sucks. Use a different pic editing program to save as jpg. If you have PaintShop Pro, (after pressing the PRTSCRN button), open it, right click, and choose "Paste as new image". Then, you can save it as any file you want.
thanks for the reply sorry it took so long to get back to you bit of a mad weekend i tried that button but every time i press it the desktop just comes back up sorry again for the delay in geting back
Yes, pressing that button will cause the screen saver to quit. However, the last image on the screen should have been copied to memory, which you can paste into Paint, or PaintShop Pro...etc.
i tried that twice once wit adobe photo delux edition 4 and also with paint but the paste option does not appear it stays faded sorry if im doing something stupid im new at all this
One thing that can prevent the PRTSCRN button from working, is if your keyboard supports advanced F key options. Either turning them on, or off changes how F keys work, including the print screen button.
how do i do this i checked in control panel in the hardware section butwhen i click onto keyboard there are no options to modify the keyboard operations
It would have an F Lock key on the keyboard itself. It just may not be possible to screen capture that particular screensaver.
Im not sure if the question has been answered or not but try making the 3d image into a gif and set that to the desktop
i think your right i dont have an f lock key so maybe it isnt possible with this screensaver thanks a million for your help
