When I use f12 and take a screen shot and open in paintshop pro I only have the top half of the shot.
The bottom half is black ?
Anyone ever see that before?
Thx

Try hitting the "Print Scrn" button on your key board. That saves a bmp screenshot to your computer's clipboard. Close the game and bring up paintshop pro. Then paste the image to a new file.
Using the in-game screenshot maker saves the file as a TGA image and they are very large files. You may not have enough memory to handle it.

Not sure if print screen works for full-screen openGL apps.
mywifeispissed, are you by any chance using an ATI card?

I used to get this problem when I had a radeon card, I used to hit F12 a few times to be sure I got a full screen pic, two out of three would be only a part of the screen.

Get the latest drivers for your Radeon card. This should fix the problem.

The latest driver cured that. I saw it in the list of fixes at Radeon.
Now on to learn how to make my loading screen.
I'm sure its on this site somewhere.
