Still having trouble with screenshots

[bprice]

I have found out generally how the screenshot system works and I have been able to take pictures. My problem is the apparent inconsistency of the system. When I press <prt sc> I get a different result each time:

Sometimes the shot is immediately captured giving me a notification of the shot.
Sometimes there is a delay of a few seconds and the shot is taken.
Sometimes the sim will pause for a few seconds and then the shot is taken.
Sometimes the sim will pause for a few seconds and nothing else happens.
Sometimes the sim will pause for a few seconds and several shots are taken in succession.
Sometimes nothing happens at all.

My question is if this is an issue with OR, my computer, or maybe I am doing something wrong.

Thanks
Basil

How screenshots behave is dependent on all the other stuff the CPU has to process. If your PC can't handle all of the existing instructions to be executed fast enough, you're going to notice the lags.

I use a standalone screen capture program, and have the same issues at times.

I know with my particular set up, the OR screenshot function will only work as intended if I hold down the Windows key while I press Print Screen. Otherwise the Print Screen button works like it would otherwise and saves the image to the clipboard - replacing it if I do it again that way.

Its called fraps.....and will allow you to do screenshots and video.....and it allows you to choose the buttons you wish to use.

Using the windows button seems to have solved the problem.
