Hi there,

What is the new prefered method for obtaining screenshots in win SPMBT?

You'll need to run the game in windowed mode to get one and you'll need at least MS Paint or preferably something better but Paint will work.

Start the game in windowed mode
Press ALT+PRTSCN
Open Paint ( or whatever )
Click on EDIT and you will see "Paste". Click on Paste and you will get your screen shot

This does not work in full screen mode

NOTE You don't really need to press "ALT" I just do out of habit. Pressing Printscreen alone will work with MS Paint

Hi,

Thanks for all the info. I am able to get a screenshot to the ms paint program but the shot includes my desktop as well. I think this might be the time to look at other graphics programs,one of the ones you suggest.

ALT+PRINTSCREEN means both together. Press ALT then press the PRINTSCREEN key.

PRINTSCREEN on its own captures the entire windows desktop, and not just the currently active window on the desktop.
