Screenshots

Whenever I take a screenshot in Wc3 (Ctrl + PrtScrn), I get a new file in my 'screenshots' folder, but the file is a completely black .TGA file of size 3,073kb.

At first I thought it was because I didn't have a program capable of viewing .TGA's, but I downloaded GIMP, and still I can't view the images. Any suggestions?

some one else had this problem, i don't remember the solution but it was a while ago. i think one thing is map hack. that wasn't their problem though. another good program is ifranveiw.

I did even more searching, adding map hack and infranview to the keywords, and it would appear that the issue is with nVidia drivers version 9+. I wonder if someone would be willing to take a screenshot of my spell in the spell making session 10 for me then?

The other person who had the problem was me.

To temporarily fix it: Change your in-game resolution, and revert it back to whatever it is you had. However, you'll have to do this everytime you get into Warcraft. I don't know how to permenantly fix it, though. Reinstalling didn't work, I'll tell you that.

Try this first...

Hit the print screen button in-game, then open up paint. Select the box select button, click the white window, and hit control+V. If it works correctly, it should paste the screenshot to your paint window, allowing you to save it as a jpeg and so forth.

If that doesn't work, I'd be glad to take a picture for you.

Hey it works! Thanks a bunch, Dusk.
