    I've never seen printscreen fail. Just have to remember to paste the image from the clipboard into something <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The only thing you can't Print Screen is Video Files. The screen comes out black when you paste it into a Paint-Type program.

    I've seen printscreen fail once. In FFXI you cant take shots and paste them in MSPaint. It disables the key appearantly.

    you could try 'gadwin print screen' or something. the name is definitely gadwin something though

    you can assign your own hotkey from a few choices and it runs in the background

    edit: doesnt work with movies though, sorry

    i dont get why that doesnt work with video files et cetera, even when you pause it...?

    FFXI plants a Square copyright on every screenshot.

    (EDIT: Maybe that was the beta..my friends recent screenshots don't have the watermark)

    (EDIT: Nevermind. They still put the watermark on. Stupid Square.)

    yup yup, printsceen it is.

    Also check around in the games dir, alot of games suport you just hitting print screen and then places it in a dir for pictures <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Sure you can, in WMP go to options, Performance tab, Video Accel to none.

    Shogun Total War?

    If so, Medival Total War owns it, and i expect Rome Total War to be one of the best RTS games ever.

    thanks for the advice/help but shogun was the first, besides medievel total war seems too much of a hassel, sure mabye the graphics are much better and the gameplays more fun but its just tooo many legions of 60 men each to keep watch on, u cant take a break like u can in shogun and go get somethnigto eat or drink while your men hold off the enemy =P

    it does work.. it is taking a picture of the programs it sees... it isnt like a stream.. the images are coming from a file its hard to explain... but it isnt some copyright protection as most people think... it is a true screenshot...
