Screen print ?

Hi all,
I don't seem to be able to do a screen print of my settings so I can help a friend.
Pressing the Prt Screen button, but nothing happens.
Any advice ?
Regards,
FD

if you are using steam you can use f12.
otherwise, i think you have to use alt+printscreen and then paste it into a graphics program or mspaint or something.

Yup I'm pretty sure you also need to paste it into a graphics program, like zex said. If it still won't work, consider using a designated screen capturing program for it, such as Gadwin Printscreen (just google it and you'll find it). Works very nicely; you hit any key you have assigned for it and the image saves to a destination also of your own choosing. You can set a lot more options like the file type, resolution, watermark, etc.

I think a lot of players use it.

Another easier way just use your cell phone camera, snap the screen then paste the file as an image.

If you are using windows 7, search for Snipping Tool. You could try that as well. You can basically just draw a little box around the area that you want to "copy". Very useful (i use it at work a lot)

Brilliant - I used the alt+prtScrn and it worked great.
Thanks all :-D
