Hey - When I save screenshots it automatically saves them as 1mb files - I was wondering if someone could tell me how to save them in JPEG format!:pj64: Thanks

YOu can't, and I don't think Jabo wants to go to the trouble of developing a JPEG conversion process. If you have Win2000, ME or XP, use MSPaint to convert it. Otherwise, download Paint Shop Pro.

You can't automaticly save them - but you can convert them as Eagle says. Just open the image in Microsoft Paint, then click File:Save As and on the pulldown menu at the bottom, select JPEG instead of Bitmap.

I don't remember if 95/98 support jpeg in paint though, so it might not work on those?

There are converters that can mass convert images, search at like download.com or hotfiles.com, I don't know any names though.

No, Windows 9x version of paint sucks, no file support, no scanner support, nada. Just stupid bitmaps.

What pic? Oh you must mean my avatar. I didn't take it. I just cropped an unmarked image from the web.

That sleek majestic look is why I like eagles so much. They just have a personality that interests me.

Umm I'm using 98se and my version of paint DOES support gif and jpg... however I believe 98 (not se ;)) and 95 don't support jpg n gif in paint... well u can't specify the jpg compression in paint so it's rather suboptimal ;) but it works :)

AFAIK only the 98se version has support for jåg pics. I have the me version and it doesn't support them.
