Okay, so I know how to make a screenshot, the whole function printscreen deal (if that isn't it, please tell me!) But see, my problem is, is that I can't get it down to a reasonable size using paint (cuz I don't have photoshop or any of that, I only have Paint). When I paste it into word, it comes out as the size I want, so when I try to copy and paste it into paint it doesn't work. When I just paste the original screen shot into Paint, it comes out as that whole 1,000 somthing 798 deal when I check in Attributes. I do my best to scale it down, and when it is, I try to submit to cB, but I keep on getting the "Oops! Error occured! Your image might have not been taken in full screen (f11) mode or cannot be cropped".

My mom is bringing home photoshop with her today, so I have to use the actual computer instead of my laptop (since supposedly Photoshop is too big of a computer to fit on a laptop, and keep the system running smoothly)

So is there a way I can use paint? Or am I destined to use Photoshop?
Answers? Pretty please?

Well, I know what you mean. This is what I used before I got photoshop which was two years ago. This is a free image resizer where you can open your picture up and resize it to any size. It's a small program, it's only 2.2mb in size. Go here to download it: http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm

You can also use Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9/Animation Shop.
Back in the day, they used to help me resize my images.

I'm not sure if this will help you, but there is a resize option in Paint. Just go to >>Image, >>Sketch and Skrew, and lower the percentage value as you see fit.
