Help w/ Vista, SH4, JSGME & TMO Together

[dmlavan]

I just bought a new computer that has Vista installed. I can run SH4 fine, both in stock (v1.5) and w/ the latest TMO installed via JSGME. However, I can't get it to run in a mode that lets me take screenshots that save to a file. I've read in other Vista threads that I need to run SH4 in Administrator mode; when I do that it runs as v1.5 w/o TMO installed. If I run it again NOT in Administrator mode it loads TMO.

Is there a way to run SH4 in Administrator mode AND use JSGME-installed files? Thanks!

Your screen shots should be in the SH4 main folder. I do not run SH4 as an adminstrator and I use TMO via JSGME. My screenshots end up in the SH4 main folder. Always have. :hmmm:

When I played on an XP machine they would save in the main SH4 directory. Now in Vista when I do the screenshot (Ctrl-F11) I get a location it was saved as SH4 @IMG followed by the date and it's a bmp file. Can't find it anywhere, even doing a search of the hard drive for all bmp files.

I can Ctrl-Print Screen, pause then minimize SH4, and paste the screen shot into a photo program, but that's a pain.

Not running vista, but here is the advise I always see.

go to your root folder where you have SH4 installed and click on compatibilty files in the header and they will show up

Armistead,
That did it! Even after reading several posts on the Microsoft support website I'm not sure what a "compatibility file" is... but now I can find my screenshots. Thanks! :up:
