I just found out that I cannot capture the screen image using the PrntScrn key on my computer. I'm running Windows Vista HP.

Does anyone know of a solution to this? I can't take screenshots of my game properly without it!

Uninstall Windows

Just jokes - I only have XP, so I don't know.

Don't ask me. I'm on Vista Ultimate with Aero on with no problems. PrtScr works fine for me.

Are you sure it doesn't work on a normal desktop? ie. perhaps it doesn't work in Vista mid-game (DirectX issue I would guess)?

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

@Dazzag:

Yes, I've tried using it when the game is closed. This is why I posted in Geek Culture and not in some developer specific board.

@Veron:

Curious... I wish mine did.

@Plystire: Paint which comes with vista is really un-stable if you download Paint.net it'll work.

@Deathead:
Yes, apparently so. Your other post that I read decided it was going to make Paint work for me, I thank you for that.
