1. Press printscreen
2. Open Windows own Paint application, every Windows version has it since forever.
3. Press Ctrl+V and save the file in whichever format you like

Also, you can only have one screenshot taken by printscreen at a time, everytime you press printscreen a new shot is taken and the one before it is deleted. That's why I like to use Steams own built in screenshot function, just press F12 and it creates a .jpg file for your screenshot and you can take as many as you like without having to do the above mentioned stone-age procedure. You can also upload your Steam screenies to your very own Steam screenshot gallery and share it with friends, that's what I do. Phew!


Well, when I take a screenshot it goes right to this folder, no fuss no muss... instant view with no other program involved

Here's mine after taking 10+ screenshots this evening... CloD walks myserious ways I could accept it if you where using XP as there could be some mapping problem with system folders like "My Documents", but no And as you are here in this thread you're not an ATI user and we are for sure on the same Nvidia driver

Yes but only for CloD in this case, I don't think any other screenshots you take with printscreen in other programs/games ends up in there. Some games have such a function, some don't.

My Documents is a magic folder with many paths which often cause problems for developers Here's another way to it below that is more like yours.. And the "correct" one in Windows 7 is "%USERPROFILE%\My Documents"

We need addman to expand on what he was saying, but limit it to just this problem with Clod. One at a time ...nice shot!
