Help Needed: Windows 7 and screenshots

Post by Ugmo » Tue Dec 22, 2009 7:33 pm

I'm running Win7 ultimate 64bit and have been trying to take a screenshot in rfactor using print screen and then pasting in photoshop. When I paste I dont get the pic I've taken in rfactor but I get whats on the screen in the background, any ideas on how to fix??

Dont really want to run any third party programs.

Yeah only problem with Fraps is if you dont have a paid for version you cant get high res.

rFactor has the possibility to take its own screenshots. Set up the key in the controls, play round in the .PLR file for file type (and quality I think).
