[RESOLVED] Can't capture Screenshoots

Post by NobuMa »

Dear all,
I am not able to take Screenshoots? I pressed V and nothing happens in my P3D Screenshoot folder. I did checked key assignment, to capture screen is the button "V" (default). I did pressed and just the folder is created but without screenshoot. I did change key assignment, but still same, too.
And I run P3D always with adminstrator

I haven't any idea to fix it. I hope someone can help me now.

Ok,
I am still testing my install of P3Dv4.3.

I will now load a flight and test the screenshot function with the keyboard "V" key.

Yes, "V" key creates a screenshot on my setup.

My screenshots are saved to this folder for P3Dv4.3:
C:\Users\Vaughan\Pictures\Prepar3D v4 Files

Are you logged as Administrator and running P3D as Administrator?

Try a test.

Copy another JPG to that folder.
Is that folder usable?

Virus program blocking it?

Did your screenshots work in P3Dv4.2?

Just for info.
I also checked my P3Dv3 for screenshots:
They are here (different folder):
C:\Users\Vaughan\Pictures\Prepar3D v3 Files

We will look for possible missing screenshots.

Click on Start
then in the search window type
2018*.*

Were there any results?

What Antivirus are you using? I have gotten that issue b4 with AVG and what I had to do was disable the protection of pictures folder.
