i sure did.

Do you have a high speed net connection? I heard about someone in the UK spending 2 months on a low internet connection to download Jackass: The Movie

yeah, it's very high. i started downloading it today, and it's been done for hours.

I thought you said you had it on VHS or DVD???? Why would you download it if you already have it?

well, that happens with me on RealOne Player. u sorta have to trick 'em. minimize it, then quickly bring it back up and push print screen and it usually works for me... (and if the file is right, i just open up frames on animation pro)

I downloaded the three original Star Wars movies on Kazaa. They clocked in at 700MB each. :D

To take a screenshot of a movie, right-click on your desktop and select Properties. Then, go to the Settings tab and click Advanced. Click the Troubleshooting tab and drag the Hardware Acceleration slider to None. Then, take your screenshot. Once you're finished follow the procedure above and set Hardware Acceleration back to Full. At least, that's how it is on my PC. It should be the same or similar on your machine.

Thanks, I'll have to try that. :)

Brandon, that used to work for me on Windows 98 and ME, but it doesn't work for me on Windows XP. It really doesn't matter cause I have a capturing device to take shots from my tv, but it's still annoying to get off one computer I have in my room to get on another. :crazy:

*cries* I want a fast computer.

Okay, I tried that out this morning and it worked. Thank you for posting that, Brandon. :)
