Why can’t I capture in-game screens?
Ever since I installed Windows 7 I have lost the ability to copy in-game shots to my clipboard. I used to be able to when I was running Windows XP, so I want to know what determines this. I remember I also couldn’t do this back when running Windows 95, so what is this missing factor?
When I say “copy to clipboard” I mean “Pressing Print Screen and Pasting in MS Paint”.
I’ve can feel you there. I just solved my problem by having a application named FRAPS. which you can setup any hotkey for capturing screens or even recording your game. You don’t have to press alt+tab after pressing printscreen so that you can save your screenshots. FRAPS will already save them in a folder which you can view after gaming.
If you want to have it. Just Google it. It’s a freeware.
