        TextBox1.Enabled = False
        Timer1.Start()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        Dim snappit As String = 0
        TextBox1.Text -= snappit + 1
        If textbox1.text = 0 Then
            Me.Hide()
        End If
        If TextBox1.text = -2 Then
            Try

                Dim screengrab As New Bitmap(My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Width, My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Height)
                Dim g As System.Drawing.Graphics = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(screengrab)
                g.CopyFromScreen(New Point(0, 0), New Point(0, 0), screenshot)
                screengrab.Save("snap.jpg")
                MsgBox("your screen has been snapped and the snap was saved", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "SuperScreenShot")
