If running Vista, the fix seems to be turn off the UAC...

Torpex;
when you save a pic (Ctrl+F12 IIRC or F11) you should see the exact location indicated in your crew dialogue box. The same dialogue box where you see all your text versions of your crew responses/reports etc. That will show you exactly where your pics are going.
If you are not seeing it there then you are probably not using the right key combo to take the pic.
I'm running TMO 2.0 and the drive and folder are always shown when I take a screenshot.

Win7? Be sure to run the game as an administrator or you will not be able to save the bmp files to the apps root directory. That's where your screen shots should be.

Yeah I can see that message but the SH4 folder that it indicates they are in isnt in the SH4 game folder its in 'my douments' and the pics arent in it anyway. Ive even just done a search for the pics and cant find them anywhere on my PC???!!!

ggregoro:

OK Ill try that, thanks. Win7......dont do it !!!!

PS Ive moved that SH4 folder now back to the SH4 main game folder...Ill see if that helps aswell.

************ BINGO resolved. After running as admin it worked and just saved loose in the main game file *******

Thanks for all the help guys.
