Hey All,

I want to take screenshots but printscrn key doesn't work. I enabled screenshot in oblivion.default-no difference. I've tried all combos (ctrl+printscrn,alt+printscrn etc.) nothing works. Is there a way to copy scrren to clipboard built-in to oblivion? I use windows7 64bit amd x4 810 quadcore plenty of ram plenty of hdd. Please help!! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all. profnewbie--new but growing ---------------just discovered fraps, seems to work fine. sorry for the useless post

There are other choices besides fraps. Be sure to make changes to the Oblivion initialization file in your save game folder, rather than the default file in the program folder.

 

If that doesn't help, run your game with administrator rights. If you can't, or won't do that, then add the following to your save game folder Oblivion.ini file:

 

Change this - SScreenShotBaseName=ScreenShot

to something like this - SScreenShotBaseName=C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\Oblivion\ScreenShot

 

Just create the folder you choose before starting the game, if it doesn't already exist.

Thanks originslayer it helps a lot. I don't really like to use 3rd party programs if unneeded so changing basename sounds great. (To tell the truth-I thought basename was just the filename starting point for incremental auto-naming. Now I know that it refers to a location also makes it a lot simpler.
