Title: I can't take screenshots in TS2!
Post by: Allemande on October 26, 2007, 06:17:32 am
A bit of an odd problem. Whenever I try to take screenshots using either a program or Print Screen ingame, it just takes a shot of my desktop instead! It shouldn't be a memory issue as I'm running 2gb memory and a decent graphics card so what could possibly be causing this? I can take screenshots of other programs.

thanks for your help!

Allemande - are you playing the game in windowed mode? and are you using a PC computer or a Macintosh computer?  Are you using Windows (*, ME, 2000, XP, or Vista?  and what is the software you are using for game screen-captures?

Myself, I always use windowed mode and use ALT+PRINT SCRN to grab the screens

I'm using full screen on the dreaded Windows Vista - a brand new PC with 2gb ram.

I've tried the print screen button, MWSnap, and Gadwin Printscreen Professional.

I'll have a go running windowed mode and see if that makes any difference.

edit: In windowed mode it just takes a picture of the task bar!
