Is there a built in key for screenshots or do you have to use an external program? Ive been mashing PrintScreen but nothings happening.

Thanks in advance.

yeah that is right, but once you have done that you need to go to paint or another graphics program and press paste, and you should get the screenshot that you just took. They you can save it and put it on this site.

I recomend a program called grabber 2k!!! It is a very cool program that you can take picture with ANY programs not just FS2004!

You can take a picture from any game if you just hit the print screen button then paste the picture.  The only problem with hitting Print Screen is you can only take one pic at a time, that's when you need another program so you can just keep taking pics and then you don't overwrite the other pics.

Print screen takes a picture of your entire screen including task bar, other windows, etc..u can either edit out what you don't want or you can do it in full screen(alt+enter) but you have to paste them after each shot which is kind of inconvenient.

Theres another prog which seems cool, although I haven't played with it much, but it's called: Rapidshot. I'd upload it to the downloads section, but it's not active as of yet.

Hey, Thanks Gents.

I was afriad of that. Most games and sims I have used before automatically save the screenshot to the directory of the sim in .TGA or .TIFF format after hitting print screen. I guess MS didn't do this!  

I will look into some of those programs. I have heard of another called FRAPS that does it as well.

As long as it can capture 1600x1200:32 without losing detail, I will be happy.
