It won't let me take a screen shot, because it locks all processes until I answer the question. Nevertheless, I took a photo of the screen. See attached. I hope it's attached ... I had to paste in a path ... maybe that works.
- MarkYou've pasted the local file's location (i.e. C:\ etc.) so that wont work sorry, you need to upload it first to Dropbox etc. and paste a link here after that
