    Fraps is working good for xp at least, though I use to take regular screenshots instead

    But I should have thought of that

    Well it's a lot easier than always printscreen and paste it in paint (which i did with windows xp). However, the free version of fraps only saves in BMP-format, so if you want another format you'll have to edit them yourelf, and if you take a lot of them, that's probably a lot of work

    All that I have installed is Quicktime (through iTunes) and all that I have to do is press 'print screen' and it saves to the tga folder.

    To get to this folder, take the following path:

    Computer -> Drive which Medieval is installed -> Users -> You -> AppData -> Local -> VirtualStore -> ProgramFiles -> Sega -> M2TW -> tgas

    Before doing so, make sure you have hidden folders visible. To do this, use the following link:

    Good luck!

    - Take screenshot with the PrtSCr button ingame.
    - Sceenshots are in the medieval 2 total war\tgas folder
    - Edit with GIMP and save in JPG\PNG\GIF (whatever format you wish) or convert using IrfanView to convert to JPG\PNG\GIF (whatever format you wish)
    - For higher\different resolutions check my thread here: High Resolution Screen Shots
