    Default Need help taking screen shots

    Yo I am dumb, I can't get screenshots to work. Hit the print screen button and it churns out a tga. What opens a tga? I have some stupid MSN program form back when I had MSN that I can't use so I tried a bunch of image programs and none of them worked. What opens tga so that I can save as a jpeg? The tga won't display in the programs I have.

    Try Xnview limitedwhole. It's the best free viewer/browser out there. Just remember that there are two modes in that software: viewing (looking at pictures) and browsing (perusing with thumbnails and a preview window beside it). Go to View>Layout when in browser mode to pick the best layout. :)

    To adjust the size of your file, when saving, click options to adjust quality. If you are in browser mode, just double click on the file and the file will pop in tab (just like firefox).

    You can minimise the game after you take the shot open paint and just "paste" and then save as Jpeg

    Howies Quick Screen Capture is a brilliant piece of free software for taking screenshots quickly and easily, and it saves them all to a folder for you to save all that pasting etc.

    I find Irfanview works fine for viewing tgas and saving as jpeg. It's free on the web:
