Printscreen...doesn't.

I've just finished reinstalling DA:O on my brand new PC after a hard drive and system fatality forced me into a new system.

 

I've gone from WindowsXP to Win7-64bit. I've got DA:O, DA:A, patch 1.04 & patch 1.05, and I've spent hours (literally!) installing mods and making sure there's no conflicts between them. The game loads fine, all textures and meshes appear (so far) to be okay.

 

But my printscreen key doesn't take screenshots.

 

I've checked the key mappings and it's all good there - screenshot is bound to the printscreen key. It just doesn't work.

 

Anyone seen this before? How do I get around or resolve it?

You using a tenkeyless keyboard? If so, hit NumLK or your function key and try again.

Yeah...tried with both FN Lock on and off. The DA options page recognises that printscreen has been passed when I re-bind the key...it just doesn't take screenshots. Most annoying.

You could try running in widows and not fullscreen and trying to get a screenie if this works then update your graphic drivers and then you should be able to get screenies in fullscreen mod as well :smile:

Nevermind...I figured it out.

 

I realised that the Printscreen key was probably being monopolised by the Snipping Tool screen capture utility that ships with Win7; the PrtScn key was working, but it was trying to open Snipping Tool rather than taking screenshots, and because DA:O was running in Full Screen mode, Snipping Tool never got a look-in. So I remapped the printscreen function in DA:O to the F12 key and off she went.
