Ok - so 2 things - I'm old and I forgot the keyboard shortcut for screenshots is the first thing - can someone let me know? The second thing is - why is that not listed in any of the strategic FAQ's or Doc's (I did look). Screenshots are essential when uploading game assets so I would assume this is an important matter. Anyway, I would very appreciate a clue - thanks!

To be honest I'm not even sure. What I do however is press the Print Screen key and then open a program like photoshop , create new document then pasta. Since print screen saves to your clipboard.

I think you can do this too with the standard Windows "Paint" program.

I don't know why my "Print Screen" does not work right, I was trying it before writing here - maybe because I have Vista Ultimate 32 bit? Anyway, I was formally able to perform screenshots, but I have honestly forgotten the keyboard shortcut - it was a built-in function on the previous version of FPSCR, I know this for sure - because I was using it! I am using MWSnap now, but the keyboard shortcut would be SOOO much easier. Anybody out there willing to share the way?

I have added the F10 instruction to the prompt when test game first starts, which should help you create screen shots of your favorite scenes faster (for the next version)

If you only want to take a screenshot of the program your using, in future just press Ctrl+PrtScn and it will take an image of your active program, so full screen games will take an image of the full screen image and not your second monitor
