    I don't think the Print screen button would work if its video rendering but i'm sure if you check the controls theres usually akey you can press to take a screen shot. it would store it as a bmp/jpg file in its root folder or somewhere like that.
    The key would be different for all games

    Depends on the game some games have in-built functions for taking screenshots? Windows will let you take a screen shot (i'm sure you already know this) using ctrl-prtScreen or take s form-shot using Alt-PrtScreen.
    although this most likely wont work on your game....
    What are you playing?

    So it isn't actual game play? you could try Print screen if its a static screen. Go into paint or what ever graphics program you use, paste and save.

    You could try Fraps That usually works for most games.

    Be careful of Fraps, it's rather finicky, I lost 3GB of HD space once. I was capturing a long movie, & when I stopped it, the big file disappeared, & in it's place was a 20 MB file instead, with the last 5 secs of the movie.

    As you can imagine I was rightly miffed. :mad: Thankfully I was using a small Xternal HD and I simply reformatted it to get my space back.

    Anywho just a heads up, another prog you could try is Hypercam but you have to change alorra video card settings to use it, so it is a bit awkward :cool:
