So I use print screen in FL to take the screenshot, I watch the screen freeze as it takes the shot. Then when I go to the appropriate folder "My Pictures->Freelancer shots" There is nothing there. Any idea what is going on?

So I found out somthing. I was playing in windowed mode, and it doesn't take the screenshots when you are in windowed mode. I play normal screen, and it was fine...
Yeah. any ideas on how to fix that?

When you press prnt scrn it copies the entire desktop to your clipboard so you can go in mspaint and save it there, but it would require some editing to just get Freelancer and plus it wouldn't be the normal resolution, but a lot of people seem to not know this, somehow.
My whole print screen button broke in FL somehow.
It suddendly stopped saving the screens in the FL folder.
So I downloaded 'Gadwin Printscreen Professional'.
It gives you a couple of useful settings like saving screens as jpg, bmp, png or whatever. I find it more useful then fraps somehow.
Best thing is that there is no screen freeze.
And Kawren doing it with MS paint requires people to alt+tab and safe the image before they can make a second screen. So its kinda annoying when playing a game:)
