Post an image to one of the image hosting sites.



For example, this is the HDTune result for my hard drive.

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.

If I understood your question correctly, you need to set a error image as your desktop background.



To do this, first take a screen shot of the desired error message(press ctrl+printscreen when you have error message) and save it as JPG file. Later open that file--> right click on it and select "set as desktop background"

Sounds like he works for Charter tech support, "If I understood your

question correctly. . ."

Not only did he NOT understand the question, he didn't give a solution to

the OP's question. But his statement is correct on how to make the error

message your background LOL!!

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:

Although usenet purists may frown at posting images HERE at

microsoft.public.whatever newsgroups, the server will accept them and serve

them, if they are not too large. For example, I have attached an example

that can be seen in Outlook Express 6.



As Jose said, saving your cropped image as JPG makes a much smaller file,

with only minor loss in quality. Saving simple images such as this one, as

..PNG, which is a lossless compression, can result in an image file smaller

than the JPG version. I don't know if .PNG files can be viewed in as many

newsreaders as JPG.



For some error messages, such as this one, you can also just highlight the

message and hit Control-C, then paste the result into Notepad. Then copy

that to your message to your newsreader, something like this:



---------------------------

clac

---------------------------

Windows cannot find 'clac'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then

try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click

Search.

---------------------------

OK

Yep. That was what was posted. That's some answer to

OK, I'll give it a shot ... grab a Polaroid, snap a picture of it, and

mail it to:
