Hi 
ATM i am using Screen Hunter for re sizable snapshots its freeware and works OK`ish but i need to take some snapshots in GIF format, is there any software for this (Freeware would be nice) grateful for any advice, thank you.
If this program you’re using takes screenshots in a different format, you could open that file in Paint or other graphical software and save it in gif format.
Brilliant !!! Thank you RHochstenbach

Try to use SolidCapture
Screenshot, Print Screen, Solid Documents - Screen Capture Software
Hi MrTwister
OK i will try that and thank you for the link :good:
if your using XP[ot]i think you are[/ot] & <Print Screen / SysRq> = copy active window contents to clipboard, & = copy entire desktop to clipboard[ot]like your system pics in gallery[/ot]
Edit: your Firefox problem
Session restore
Fx 2.0 only: As a blogger and web mail user, it breaks my heart to recount how many times I’ve composed a long post or email message, then accidentally closed the tab or browser and lost all my work. No more! With Firefox 2, set the browser.startup.page key to 3 to restore your browsing session - with form entries intact! - every time you start your browser or undo close tab after a wayward click. Note: By default, Firefox 2 automatically restores your session if your browser crashes - but this does it every time you restart your browser normally. Thanks for the tip, Arun!
* Key: browser.startup.page
* Modified Value: 3
* Default: 1 (open your specified homepages)
BTW: start by entering
about:config
in the address bar

SF is FF but for Linux[ot]although support has being withdrawn, i’ll switch to Seamonkey soon[/ot]
BTW: Maxthon is ok[ot]tried it briefly through Wine[/ot]but i didn’t really give it much time
Right i have just loaded (faststone screen capture 5) om a mag front disk its free) and this looks quite good and it can snap dropdowns in jpeg , gif, bmp, tif, and pdf and has a floating Capture Panel that can be dragged “see pic”

I like Maxthon and one thing you can set each tab to refresh at a different time “see pic”
