[Tex/LaTex] How to insert image in conference paper

floatsgraphicsieeetran

I'm learning latex now in college, and I've tried everything I found on the internet but it is not working.
I'm making a conference paper, that has two columns. I want to insert image that will occupy the space of the columns. So far this is what it looks like: http://prntscr.com/4xgnzm

I have this code about the images:

 \usepackage{graphicx}
 \graphicspath{ {images/} }

and inside the document is this: 

\begin{figure}[h]
\includegraphics{latexPic}
\caption{\bf {\large Overview of the integrity discovery system using secure introspection}}
\end{figure}

Can someone tell me how to format the image so the text is around it and the image is inside the two column space?
PS. This is the first time I am posting here, and I apologize if something isn't according to the rules.
EDIT: I cut as much of the text as I could, but now the problem can't be seen(the image appearing below the text).Anyway here is the code: 

\documentclass[10pt, conference]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\graphicspath{ {images/} }

Best Answer

Perhaps something like this, I include teh figure both as a single column figure and as a double column figure spreading across the next page.

I also removed all formatting commands from inside section heads, and removed the "manual" section numbering.

\documentclass[10pt, conference]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}% so it makes black blobs
\graphicspath{ {images/} }
