Everytime I try and hit that infamous "V" key to take a screen shot I get this notification...

Does anyone have an idea what the problem is... or could be?

Thanks

have you tried using the "PRNT SCRN/SYSRQ" key???  that is generally what key to use to CAPTURE a screen shot.


then simply open your photo editor software of choice, and PASTE your screenshot.



edit to taste then save!!! ... Happy shooting!

I have a program called FSScreen which works great and allows you to take any number of screenies.

If you do use the single shot 'PrintScreen/SysRq' button, take it immediately to 'Paint' - save as JPEG then go to your favorite edit program.
