ok so i finally figured out what messed up the f10 and f11 problem as well as correcting the freezing issue when taking screenshots on higher resolution. The hi-resolution fix i had used an installer for the windows batch file using sp2. That service pack 2 installer has an incompatible dll in the batch file for windows vista. So i uninstalled the batch file, it came with an uninstaller. Now i can take screenshots no problem and all keys are working just fine. I actually found the answer on the microsoft direct-x forum.

I have no idea what the native resolution of my 28" monitor is, but 1440 x 900 is the max at which my old eyes can still read the icons. I don't use the hi-res fix, and the stretching is so minimal I don't even notice it anymore.

YES !!! :yep:

Magic i got the buttons wworking but every now and again the game freezes while taking screen shots. I thought i had sorted it but i guess not. Last night i thought it was ok when i took like 10 screens no problem. Then i was taking screens of Depth charges and wala freeze. I dont know whats causing this bloody problem. Anyone know how to fix this?

Do you use Win7/64 bit ?

If so, the screenshot key doesn´t work anymore (for me too), the game freeze !

You must use extern Screenshot Tools !

I tried that it froze while i was using FRAPS and i changed the key to" \ " to take screens and it froze also. I have vista 32-bit.

Mmmh, I´m not familiar with Vista or FRAPS, so sorry I can´t help you anymore....!
