How to make screen shots?

Post by NightCrow »

How do you make screenshots of your games? I tried using UO utility as well as the conventional Alt_prnt Scrn and paste in Paint Shop, but it doesn't work. The pics turn out funky looking (weird colors and all).

Go into the options and click on using with Direct X. Otherwise you will get some weird colors and pics. Then you open Hypersnap while playing the game. In SPWAW you hit the print screen key. Alt Tab out of the game and bingo you have your pic. I have found that .GIF works the best. Also if you have some other type of software you can open the picture latter and get rid of the Hypersnap AD that is kind of annoying.
