You don't have to get to the internal clipboard. As long as you don't copy anything else after your screenshot, just open Photoshop (good choice!) then click "File" > "New". The new blank canvas will appear. Click OK.
The new canvas will be the size of your screenshot. Click "Edit" > "Paste" and your image will be there.
I don't have a photobucket account but I think that having downloaded your screenshot there, if you click on the picture, the link should show at the top of your browser. The link is the address to where the picture can be seen. You right click on that address, choose copy, then come back here to the board. Right click again and click on that little chain looking icon beside the happy face. A screen will come up. You want to right click and choose paste to insert the address of the picture where it says "url". See how that goes.
You are doing great by the way. You've already been more places than most grandparents want to go.
Okay, so once you have your photo downloaded, when you run your mouse over the picture a choice of urls will come up. Click on direct link. when it is highlighted in blue, right click on it and choose "copy".
Come back here and once you are into the reply area, click on the image tree. When the screen opens, right click and paste into the image url section and change the size to 600 x 480 in the dimensions box.Click insert and it should be visible. Check preview and post. Quite the operation! You are just about there.
Since you are having trouble posting the image, please just paste the image URL into your next post as a line of text (not using the insert image box) and I will try to help.
Okay, then your image is still on your local computer.
As mentioned earlier, you will have to sign up for and create a user account on one of the many free image hosting sites.
Then you can upload your image to that site. When uploaded to the image hosting site, you will be able to get an "http" address link that looks like the one in this post.
You can then either just paste the link in the body of the message, or insert it into the image box.
I have Photoshop, and following your instructions, the screen shot is now a JPEG image.
I put the URL into the slot called "Image URL", then added some dimensions suggested by another contributor, then hit "insert", but I did not get an image.
I understand that you have a JPEG image of your screenshot. At the present time, images cannot be placed directly from your computer onto the Norton forums. All images must be linked from a third party image hosting site.
Your image must be uploaded to a site like Imageshack or Photobucket. Then you will place the URL image link (not your actual image) in your post.
I may have. While I was searching for “Hijackthis” or the Malware program, both of which I used to clean up the mess I was in, I crashed into some kind of registry program and may have down loaded it. I cannot find any evidence of it, however, when I go from “Start” and look through my existing programs. Is it trouble? If so, is it hiding in a dark corner somewhere?
"thanks so much for your reply. but uninstalling registryoptimiser seems to have solved all of the problems. If you think its worth doing what you suggested still, let me know and I will but otherwise I won't for now."
And it looks as though the hijackthis entries in question are
