Cant take screenshots?

Postby lunitic_8 » Mon Dec 28, 2009 6:40 pm

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!

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.
