Unable to take screenshots in LFS. - Marty - 2014-07-17 14:28

Hello,

I am unable to take screenshots in LFS.
When I press Crtl+alt+Printscreen, and paste it in Paint, only a black image appears. I have just been upgraded to Windows 8, maybe that has something to do with it.
Sometimes when I start LFS, a second LFS starts up, causing LFS to be seen only with a black image. This second LFS is only noticable in Task Manager. When you stop the second LFS, first LFS appears, but that doesn't seem to be the cause of the problem.

In Windows (right now for example) does Printscreen work like a charm.
Can somebody help me?

Thanks,

Marty.

It would be much easier if you just use the built-in screenshot capture: CTRL+S.

Thanks Ras. Smile

Yeah, happens to me too. If you were to do it in windowed mode (sorry if you have already, haven't read full post) it will work. The same thing would happen if you tried to stream LFS in full screen, it would just be black.

btw, alt+printscreen is enough to capture the active window. No need for ctrl.
