Having trouble taking screenshots.

I've tried binding it to other keys (Default is printscreen). Then I've tried to snap a few screens while playing, but the game gives no confirmation message when I hit the assigned key. After the game I'd look in the BF1942 directory for a /Screenshots/ folder or the screenshots themselves, but they were nowhere to be found. They may be getting saved in some directory I cant find, but I get a feeling they are just not being taken at all. In the demos I had no luck taking screenshots either, in fact, hitting printscreen crashed the demo (but I could still paste the screen I took, so it wasnt a total loss...) I know there are 3rd party screen capture programs, but I would definately prefer to figure out how to get BF1942 to do it on it's own.

Just make a folder called screenshots in your BF1942 folder. That will clear up the issue and you'll see the screenshots.tga files appearing after that.

Thank you very much

I had the same problem and it went away, as stated above, by creating the screenshots folder in the root folder.
