Press F2 then look into the medieval folder for tgas. That should sort you out.
I can find the tgas but how do you view them
Most graphics programs can load TGA files. You can also download the free IrfanView, which I believe to be the best graphics viewer around. :) Been using it for years.
Thanx Cironir it works a treat
Can you still use printscreens for M:TW? I tried once and it wouldn't take. What buttons do you press, and where does the pic show up?

PrtSc won't do it. Press F2 (top of your keyboard), then open Windows Explorer, find the M:TW folder, open it, then look for a folder called TGAs. The images will be in there. If you pressed and held F2 a long time, you'll probably see many duplicates of the same screenshot.
You can use PrintScreen. Then task-switch (alt-tab) to some graphics program and hit ^V (paste). Windows comes with one or two simple graphics programs like Paint (under Accessories) and maybe Photo Editor, but there are tons of better apps, like Paint Shop Pro from www.jasc.com. If you use something besides F2, you can more readily save them wherever you want, under whatever name or format you want. But F2 works fine too, shrug.

thx alot, i'll have to try that out, both the printscreen and the TGA files.
I just use Fraps for everything, press f11 in any game it it takes a screen.
Heh, this stuff works on Microsoft Picture It. So if you don't have IrfanView but have MS Picture It 2002 then never fear.
