The Res Fix mod disables Control F11 and requires (the readme says so anyway) that you use Print Screen. "Hooked to Print Screen" is the way it describes it, and you have to provide the path to your preferred screenshot folder by writing it into the d3d9 cfg file. When I first tried the Res Fix (love the way it fixes my Res) and couldn't take screenshots, that's when my troubles began. I typed in the path and did what the Readme said and my game started locking up when I hit Print Screen. I disabled Screenshots in the d3d9 cfg altogether--still Print Screen froze my computer. So I started looking at freeware screen capture programs to circumvent the issue. It, I think, turns out that the proper key sequence is Control Print Screen to take a screenshot with the Res Fix.
If such is the case, a little more specificity in the Res Fix Readme would have saved me a few headaches.
But then, without that problem to occupy me I would have had some other problem to deal with. So I guess it all hashes out even in the end.

So it goes.
