HELP with screenshots needed!

donw · 12-07-07, 11:15 PM

I've never seen this problem or heard about it on here, but if anybody has some idea's, I'm all ears! (eyes)

Last weekend my system crashed during a chkdsk operation. Had to reformat and lost everything. I re-installed SH3 with 1.4, no mods, no GWX...simply out of the box with the patch.

Now...when taking a screenshot (CTRL/F11) the .bmp image shows up fine in the root game folder, but when opened, its solid black?

any idea's?

I answered your question in the WAW forum.

Well...thats one solution, but prior to this last install... my shots were always perfect... what's changed?

*edit* I use paint shop pro for image work, and no amount of brightness or contrast changes make any difference. I have managed a "work-around"...by using PSP to capture a screen image... but it really bites not having it work as before!

That is odd,

I have always used a free program called Clipper for my screen shots but, never had them just be all black even when brightened up. :hmm: Maybe someone else knows what is going on.
