NWN1 And Screen Shots. (Windows 7)
« on: January 26, 2013, 07:37:23 pm »


               So I am trying to get screen shots within NWN1 on a Windows 7 machine. However, the screen shots are coming up as black screens when I paste them in Paint Shop Pro (from doing PRINT SCREEN within NWN1). Any ideas what could be causing this?

               Nevermind. Screen capture folder is showing the files correctly now.

               I've had a similar problem, I can't take screenshots while in my module. No file will come into the screenshots folder when Print Screen is touched. It used to, but now it doesn't Especially on this module. It has a 0 at the front of it's name, could that be causing it?

               <singing like...>

Win 7 & 8 try to lock down the root directories of the system drive with the UAC. As a result, it can be problematical getting things for NwN to work right, including the screenshots.

One workaround is to turn off UAC. Another is to run NwN as administrator.

Personally, I like to use Greenshot to take my screenies. It lets me take just the region I want to take and save it in the format I want in the directory I want.

It may not be easy being green, but it's not hard :-)

               Running as Admin was the key, for me.
