Hi, what program do you use to take screenshots?

I've used grabclip, but it keeps giving error messages. I've got to restart it several times to work properly, and using printscreen and pasting it to ifran is quite some work as i can only take one shot a time.

I use a program called Multigrab. It works extremely well for me. I then use Irfanview to resize them or PIXresizer if I have quite a few to resize.

same for me on both programs, they work the best I find.

Are those programs freeware and downloadable?

Guess you didn't see that one comming!

Click on the multigrab link at the bottom of the page.

PIXresizer: http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm

Thank you very much!

I use screenshooter, forgot where I got it but it is free and the best screenie program I have ever found.

Great, multigrab don't seem to work on my PC - its babbling about a file not found in some kind of library and a virtual driver.

Boy, i hate not knowing enough about pc's.

Did you download mwgfx.dll? Multigrab wont run without it
Under the program list option, right at the botom is a box saying "Download the Latest mwgfx.dll (required unless you already have it)" I think this should solve it.

You're right, i knew i downloaded something else! i really should get a system in my downloading, not mixing all up!

O well, thx anyway

I've tried many multiple screengrab utilities over the years. Everyone has their own preferences but I found that some are a tad buggy & not all they're cracked up to be. Some like GCS are not compatible with all screen resolutions.

MultiGrab was developed specifically for use with the M$ sims by the foremost FS graphics guru - Martin Wright. It's a small download & a standalone application. This means it can be run from any location on your HD or even a remote drive & does not add itself to the Windows registry. It's easy to set up & use & does all I ever needed in all M$ sims including FS9 & CFS3 in all screen resolutions. For all normal purposes I use it in conjuction with IrfanView. Quick & simple is my motto.

I know the feeling when GCS crashed. I solved it by setting Priority and Max Number of Threads to full. It doesn't crash any more, but MultiGrab is something I have gotta try.
