Ok this is a real stupid so try not to laugh too hard

For some reason I cannot take screen shots other than in Quake. I know in quake its F11 to take a screen shot which works fine....but when I try and take a screenshot of my desktop or anthing for that matter nothing happens :? I would think once I hit the "Print Screen SysRq" button that it should ask me where I'd like to save it maybe?? but nothing happens when I press it.....or does it take the screenshot and save it somewhere in WIN32 under some sort of temorary file name?? I dunno...hope someone can help...

:?

It saves it in exact same buffer where the text is saved when you press the CTRL+C. All you need is to paste it into some program like paintbrush or photoshop and then "Save As".

PS: It will take the screenshot of the whole screen. If you want to snap the active window only, press ALT+PrntScr

Yeah Ice, pressing Print Screen just copies the screen to the "clipboard"

send the screenshot to someone with a website, probably wartex.. then get him to put it on his site then find out the link to it.. then hit Img at the top of the post, type the link in, then hit Img again and it's done..

e.g.

Ya, only use [] brackets instead of {}... Goose used {} so the forum doesn't parse it.

2 psycheus: ya it makes me laugh... I'm preparing a surprise for ya all and "I'm a nad" and "It's a teddy bear" is going to be part of it.
