I press [Print Screen] but I can't seen to find the screen shot? Why? I can't find the folder for the screen shots. Is there one?:juggle2:

In your Medieval Two total war folder is a folder called "tgas". its full of Tgas files, each one being one of your screenshots.

I use a program called "Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com/)" (a simple, free, downloadable imageviewer) to convert the tgas files into Jpegs, Gifs or whatever you need.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Whoops beaten to the punch...

I have the images now, but I would like to upload them to show you guys/gals them but I have to put them in url. Is there another way?

Oh, and you can just hit printscreen and copy them into paint/ps to export as a full resolution jpeg if you prefer.

Just a small piece of advice : next time try converting the screen to JPG instead of PNG. The image you posted is 1.45MB which is huge for a 640x480 pic. Converted by irfan to jpg 80% it's just 72kb, and visually unchanged. That's 20 times smaller. I know pretty much everyone is on broadband these days, but still...

Yep, PNGs are similar to GIFs in technology which means they are better for line drawings than color drawings which is best compressed by JPGs.
