Press your "PrintScreen" key on your keyboard, open up "Paint" or whatever graphics program you use, click the "Edit" menu at the top, and "Paste" the screenshot in. Then save it as a .jpg and you're done. They you can submit it to the screenshots gallery.

When you create a desktop screenshot and the wallpaper is not your creation, you have to cover part of it so other people can't download and use the wallpaper. You can put objects on there, or open a few windows, just as long as it stops the wallpaper being copied   

You first upload had to be rejected because of this... but don't give up, just follow the advice above and everything will be fine

Yes - as long as some part of the wallpaper is covered that's fine.

Anything else you need just ask, there's always someone around
