Trying to Get Printscreen to Work : III

» Wed Sep 02, 2009 3:52 pm

I've received a message saying that the Print Screen feature is not enabled. I opened up Morrowind.ini and the first notepad (in three) have nothing more than this:

[General]
Subtitles=1

The "1" implies that it is in fact enabled, but just to verify I changed it to 0 to see if it would effect the game. Alas, I am unable to get print screen to work. Any ideas?

What OS are you using?
If it's Vista or Win7, you'll want to change the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/781497-vistawindows-7-problems/page__p__11352753#entry11352753 (which will fix many problems)
Then you'll be able to edit the ini file. (located in the main Morrowind Folder)

I believe that's why your ini file is not looking correct. It should be full of many lines of text.

I'm currently using windows 7, I'll try to change the folder location.

I think the OP means that the screenshot feature isn't available in Morrowind and want to you use it right?

If so just look up these lines in Morrowind.ini and change "Screen Shot Enable=" line from "0" to "1".

But...

I opened up Morrowind.ini and the first notepad (in three) have nothing more than this:

[General]
Subtitles=1

That sounds like a major problem to me.

I completely forgot about this thread. :whistling: Do you guys want me to put all of my ini notepads in my morrowind folder and then copy my Bethesda folder under C:/?

MGE or MGE XE can set macros. Put "Take Screenshot" under "Print Screen" and that should work.

That worked. Thanks!
