In Oblivion.ini, change the line "bAllowScreenShot=0" to "bAllowScreenShot=1" to enable your Print Screen button for Oblivion. I don't know where it saves the images, though, and don't think it works if you have Anti Aliasing on.

 

As an alternative, get FRAPS.

Well, the default save folder is the Oblivion folder, wherever you have placed it, usually C:/program files/Bethesda/Oblivion/

 

But you can change it.. find this entry and put in a new directory address along with the screenshot base name of your choice:

SScreenShotBaseName=

 

 

My directory is in a separate hard drive, and in a new directory I named "TES" so this is the address of my Oblivion directory:

G:\TES\Oblivion\

 

I changed the screenshot directory to point to this new screenshot folder I made inside the TES folder, it looks like this:

 

SScreenShotBaseName=G:\TES\screens\BlivScreen

 

So my screenshots are named "BlivScreen1, BlivScreen2, Blivscreen3" etc.

 

That way I can search for them very easily.

I've used fraps, it's great for making videos, but I find it a bit cumbersome for something as simple as a screenshot. Of course, I have my way of doing things, and I've been taking screenshots for years, as part of my former job as a technical writer (I wrote software helpfiles). Betcha never wouda guessed!
