I tried taking it with Print Screen and F 11 both but neither work. Anyone know how to take screenshots in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" />

Do you have a screenshot program with snapshot function? This works then. some use Hypersnap, I use PaintShop Pro 8.

I've got Paintshop Pro but I don't know how to use it very well

No I don't have Paintshop Pro. My free trial expired. Beside it is 7 instead of 8

PSP 7 is no problem either, that's how a gamer made them - but the expiration is, sorry <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />


Raze mentioned a few programs, did you try them out? The 3rd post

Programs, click here

WhiteGirl, I'm no expert at graphic proggies => if you find out an easy one from Raze's link, please report success, ok? I'm sure, more gamers want to experiment with screenies. Thank you in advance <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Barnie had to install PSP 8 trial version, to explain it to me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> - in spite of a large manual and a huge book with 338 pages, I couldn't understand this program. so, welcome to the club of program-inexperienced <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> You can't imagine, how your post soothes my hurt ego.

In case you get a trial version of PSP8, hope the English words are correct, as I have the German version:
Start PSP
File -> import -> snapshot -> setup (for the 1st time)
fill in the following options to configure:
"full screen"
"define key short cut" (I used F2, should be a key, you don't use in-game, ok?)
"several times"
apply with "ok".


After this you can start PSP and then activate by "files - import - snapshot - start".

This minimizes to the task bar and you can make screenies now. Leave the game via Windows key or ALT+TAB and then maximize your PSP after you have made a screenshot (in my case, with F2). With the default F12 key for PSP8, you can save a screenshot into the appropriate format (in my case png, because I work with MS paint or CompuPic afterwards - PS is too difficult for me in this case).

Note: Every time, you open PSP to look if you have made a screenie, you have to activate again => "file - import - snapshot - start."

I chose PNGSHOT. It seemed the coolest and it is simple to use

ARGH! And I have just stumbled through my rudimentary knowledge to explain PSP and snapshot <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

You couldn't see it => I modified my post, just as you wrote yours. A very bad habit of mine => editing endless times <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

Just look at my edit time and compare it with your post time...
