some troubles with screenshots

Recommended Posts

well, At first I couldn't take screenshots, but I read some forums and finally got the ballowscreenshot at 1, so, when I'm playing I can take now the picture. The problem is my screenshots doesn't appear. When I take one the game tells me that screenshot5.bmp has been added and the count goes on and on, but it never appears in Bethesdasoftworks/oblivion.

 

I have already FRAPS and can direct my screenshots just nice, but before that some SS were saved somewhere and when I take new SS they must be saved somewhere, can you tell me if there is another place where they could be?

 

I have Windows 7, though I don't think it does care

I would put something like ScreenShot5 into Windows' search function and see if it can locate it. Just for kicks.

 

Also, if your game has a tendency to crash, it might not be saving. Using the saveini command before trying to close the game may help.

tried it, but the searcher didn't get anything, and the game runs perfectly, it never crashes. The only problem is the inexistence of the saved files actually... and it is really annoying.

Do you by any chance have Oblivion installed on a separate drive than your OS? If so, check to make sure the drives permissions are set correctly. Users/Admins/System should have "Full Control" over the drive. To check the permissions, right-click the drive and select "Properties". Select the "Security" tab and make sure that all users have "Full Control" checked. There's no reason all accounts shouldn't be able to write/read/delete/etc data on the drive, unless you're using a public computer. The reason that whether or not Oblivion is installed on your system drive or not is relevant is because if it's on the same drive, you'd be having a lot more problems if the permissions were screwed up. If it's a separate drives, things might be a little less obvious.

 

P.S Changing the drive permissions does not change/remove "account privileges" (i.e some programs requiring an admin account, as they change sensitive OS settings), it merely changes which users can write/read/append data to the drive. You aren't increasing the risk of malware infection by changing these settings.

I actually have the exact same problem...Sometime ago I took a bunch of screenshots and they never appeared.Then one day all of a sudden they appeared in the Oblivion folder.Now I took another set of screenshots and

only a couple of them appeared but the rest still hasn't.I'm also using windows 7.
