man, looks like I joined GW just in time, two threads that are up my alley.

If you didn't read in the farming video thread one of my hobbies is making cartoon using images of games. I did one for UO about a beggar named Soupy Dreck. I use still set to music in a moving format.

Anyhoo, if you want to get better quality screenshots and be able to set the size, get this free screenshot taker.

MWSnap

You can set it to send the pics to a file folder, and hotkeys for taking pics on the fly, as well as size settings. It's one of the better freeware proggies out there.

For the result to be "just you standing there", you have to be pressing something other than "just" print screen. [Shift]+[Print Scrn] will, of course, create a screen shot of your view, minus the in game text, GUI, etc.

Unless you've changed the key entry in Options*, simply pressing [Print Scrn] and only [Print Scrn] will get you an in game shot, with game text, GUI, etc.

*Check options to make sure you didn't alter the "simple print screen" keystroke.

Twenty six in fact...since about 4a.m.!

...and all very knowledgeable and helpful too

What on earth is a 12 year-old doing up at this time?

Do you think his parents know he is using their computer?
