    Print screen button on your keyboard --> paste (Ctrl + V) favourite image editing app. (even Paint works) --> Save as .PNG file --> upload to image hosting website such as imageshack.us or photobucket.com

    Another way is to hit Windows Key>R, then type in snippingtool.
    It's a more advanced print screen. However, you have to have tablet PC features enabled for it to work. Congrats on your M1530, I sure love mine!

    You can also press 'Alt + PrtSc' to capture a screenshot only of the Active Window. (Then save it the usual way..^^ Preferably MsPaint :p)
