    Well, that sounds like a problem all right. Have you modified FRAPS at all? I mean tweaked the settings, changed hotkeys, etc? I believe screenshots with FRAPS is default to F10, but I may be wrong.

    Do you know where the screenshots folder is? I've set mine to desktop to make it easier, and then I move them.

    Do I understand correctly that whenever you press your screenshot key in FRAPS (F10?) ALL your saved games in RTW are erased? This could be due to your screenshot key being bound to the same key as a kind of delete function I would assume.

    The second issue where you get sent back to the main menu sounds like a corrupt save game or install. I would try reinstalling the game and mod, or wait for Dime or someone more experienced in these matters to respond.

    I have no idea I have made fraps so that it will send pictures dircectly to my pictures I dont beleive that f10 is delete but I will try something else. I dont know what happens The names of the files saved are still there when I go to load campaign but when I try to load them The loading sscreen appears but when it is finished it goes to main menu.

    Yes howies is what I use for all of my screenies, I then upload them on All You Can Upload.
    "So there I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopowner and his son... that's a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes. Nasty business, really. But, sure enough, I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show."

    If you want to get sccreenshots wihout having to use programs, simple press print screen to capture a screenshot and then poaste it onto an empty paint document. copy it or upload it onto some webhosting site eg Imageshack.
