Screen Shots

The age-old question; how do you take them? I did some looking around and I've tried hitting print screen then pasting onto notepad, but it says I have nothing to paste. I tried Paint and it would just paste a big black square. I went to the "tgas" folder and there were three images there but they were, of course, just black squares.

I personally use FRAPS. Its a free utility that measures fps and takes screenshots in-game.

Or use MSI afterburn utility. Although I just use Fraps and then convert the images from Bitmap to Jpeg using Paint.NET.

print screen, open paint, hold down ctrl and press v, save as, make sure you save as jpeg. Upload, for that I use photobucket.

if print screen is not working, check if you have the F lock on or off, can't remember which is the setting you need in on right now

Also make sure you have Anti-Aliasing turned off in the video settings as that can ruin Screenshots too.

That did it! Anti-aliasing off, can use print screen and paste to paint like a champ. Thanks for the help.
