How Do You Take a Pic?

I've never been able to figure this out. How do you take a pic? I'd like to get a pic of Burned Bob wearing his Naughty Nightware and Lincoln's Hat while armed with his flame thrower.

Really?

Pc gamer My guess.

Try the "PrtScn" Button on you Keyboard. There should be a little jolt on your screen hardly noticeable. And the picture will be saved in your data file. A notification should appear in your screen saying it was taken.

http://www.fraps.com/ - the free version is all you need to take screenshots.

IIRC, in most gamesas games, the screenshot facility is disabled by default, and you have to enable it by editing the game settings file ( .ini file).

I found the following link via Google:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/918428-fallout-3/answers?qid=26589

Basically, for every gamesas game (at least the ones based on the Gamebryo engine), this seems like it's been true - Morrowind, Oblivion, FO3, probably Skyrim (I'll find out Friday when the game files are decrypted by Steam). The only thing which changes is the directory and the name of the ini file (at least, so far that's the only thing that's changed).
