Please tell me how to make a screenshot!

Kristorf is right about Fraps - Fraps is an awesome tool - printscreen on your keyboard can only hold one image in your memory buffer but on the other hand Fraps allows you to take as many shots as you like & its free to download - i recomend anyone who is wanting to get a few decent screen shots should use fraps or similar to capture as many screens as you like instead of only be able to capture just one single frame at a time

when taking a screen shot you dont want to be limited to one shot at a time as this can be really time consuming going back & forth between the game & saving the image & it also forces you to get the shot just right first time. However with say fraps you can take as many screen shots as you like in one session & by hitting the screen grab button repeatedly quickly you can capture a whole sequence, afterwards you simply pick out the best shots & then dump the rest you dont like. Its far easier doing this & increases your chances of getting a great shot. You could say having Fraps is like having a motor drive for your camera :wink:

There are limitations about the free version of fraps though one of which is that you can only save directly to BMP & the other is you cant save video in the free version. You can always convert your BMPs to JPG with Paint anyway so no biggy
