For MTW hit F11 and you will have taken a screenshot. Mind you those TGA files are pretty big so convert them in jpegs or so afterwards.

isn't also print screen another good way to take pictures?

yes, but that requires you to alt-tab out of the game, open paint, then paste and save your picture.

Needless to say this is a bit tedious, a screen taker like fraps dies not have that vice...

I'd also think you should be able to assign say...printscreen as your screenshot key, meaning that when you press printscreen the game 'll save it in it's screen shot folder.

Which by-passes the aforementioned alt-tabbing out of the game

Is it safe though? DL'ing that on the net... does it contain viruses or spyware that you know of?

Instead of opening a program everytime you play, just press print screen and you`ll find your screenshot in your folder(RTW).

That worked once for me one tga file then it never worked again seems to happen to a lot of people.

Ok, then I suggest to replace F12 with print screen as the default screenshot key.

You only need to Alt-Tab out and paiste it into ms paint if it is a screenshot of something in the lobby. If you press prtscrn in a game it should be saved in your tgas folder. And the best free image hoster which is the easiest to use and doesn't require you to register or log-in is www.imageshack.us
