While i've got DF running under XP, i can't seem to take screenshots.
I know of course, to create a directory called PICS, and to use the \ key for screen grabs.
It's not working however, and neither does my PrintScrn key.
I'm using a UK keyboard layout, could that be the matter?

Use DOSBox. Ctrl+F5.

Yes, you're probably pressing the wrong key. Try some keys to the right of the letters until you figure out which one it is for you.

Ok, was trying that but after selecting the Huge install size, it claims i don't have enough free space (jeez i only have like 65gigs :facepalm: )

Read the stickies, darnit.

After the mount command use the -freesize xxxx. Ex: "mount c c:\games -freesize 5000".
