I tried to copy and past this message using the Vista snip tool but that didn't work either!

Hello Dawn

I found I was able to copy jpegs directly into the wallpaper folder using my screen capture app.

I use Faststone capture 3.5. The Run this program as admin box needs to be checked ( right click the .exe - under compatibility tab tick the box and Apply , OK ) - when I run the program, I also right click and run as admin. for good measure.

Hope this helps
