Title: Print Screen...need help again Post by: adreyn on October 31, 2008, 01:08:10 pm I'm just hating my new laptop more and more. The video card rawks, tho!
I am unable to use print screen for Sims 2 captures. The print screen function works, but not in the game. When I try to use print screen in game, then I get a black capture when I paste it to my paint program. But, if I try it with anything other than the game, it works fine. Any solutions out there? Thanks again! Title: Print Screen...need help again Post by: Tenshii~Akari on October 31, 2008, 01:48:50 pm Use Gadwin (http://www.gadwin.com/download/index.htm#PrintScreen). It works wonders and saves your captures in a folder for you. That might help solve that problem. :smile bi:
Title: Print Screen...need help again Post by: adreyn on October 31, 2008, 02:01:41 pm Thanks, I'll see if it works.
Unfortunately, Gadwin is doing the same thing. Just get a black screen capture. Dang it. **Got it working now! And figured it out myself. I guess I can become my own computer tech...NOT! Anyway, thanks Tenshii Akari, I love the Gadwin, now that I got it working.** Title: Print Screen...need help again Post by: Engram on October 31, 2008, 04:36:52 pm So what was the solution?
Title: Print Screen...need help again Post by: adreyn on November 04, 2008, 10:28:21 pm Oh, sorry... guess I could put that down in case anyone else has the problem, doubt it though.
I made a change on the nvidia control panel when I was looking through all the new computer stuff and I switched it back to the default or let the "card decide" (some choice like that). Print screen worked after that. Don't know why it should make a difference but it did.

I was just looking at my Task manager because I can't get the homecrafter to open.....anyway, that's another story, but I just remembered that I also decided to leave the processes on, when I was having my problems. Except for my antivirus and a couple of things that are on icon tray (can't think what that is actually called right now). I always turned off most of the processes that maxis instructs us to when running the game. I don't know if that might have also made a difference with using gadwin and the prt scrn function. Hopefully, you'll get that solved. |
