Hey, love the game,

so where exactly can you find screen shots after hitting the "Prt Scrn" (Print Screen) button?:hmmm:

Argh! Why will no one reply?!?!?!

In the M2TW\tgas directory.

What does tgas mean?!?!

Exactly what he said it means

The map: \Total War (Medieval 2)\tgas and the .TGA files are pictures. Open em with quicktime or something.

Otherwise, use fraps. Fraps is a program for monitoring FPS, Recording and taking pictures of your gameplay

I use IrfanView. You can edit and sharpen your screen shots.

You can also use alt+prt scr. This will save a copy of the image to your clipboard instead of actualy save the image in the tgas folder. Then you can just paste it into paint or whatever image editor you like and save it in whatever format you want.

Mmmm. Didn't know that one. Might try it out!

Keep in mind if you go IceBeast's route that you'll have to minimize your game, paste it then and save the file before doing ALT+PrtScn again because you'll just overwrite the info you already have on your clipboard (in this case...the last screenshot you took!).

I recommend using PrtScn and then editing with GIMP 2 http://www.gimp.org/
