    [​IMG] Forgive me if this has been asked before. If it has, I either can't find it or spaced it off completely. How in the heck do you take screen shots? I never wondered until I started reading SP regularly. Not that I ever do anything spectacular enough to warrant one... :o

    Do you have a 'Print Screen' key on your keyboard?

    Press 'Print Screen' and then you can paste your screen in paint or any other program you like.

    Just hit the Print Screen button. A Folder called ScrnShot will automatically be created for you in the main BG II directory and your screen shots will be saved there.

    Yes, Print Screen is at the top with the F keys. So just push that? Does the result end up in the SoA folder? How do I find it? Thanks, Shrikant. I'll try one and see what happens.

    Yes that's right! If you need to take a screenshot in any other program you'd need to paste it but not with BG or IWD. :bang:
