profnewbie Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) 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 Edited March 24, 2011 by profnewbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

originslayer Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 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=ScreenShotto 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.

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. Thanks for the info -----profnewbie--new but growing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
