Atomic Systems

Can anyone help me at all by providing screen shots of all of my signal boxes please, the reason i ask is that my machine won't let me take them.....
Once i have the screen shots i will update the main pictures of my model boxes on uktrainsim

you dont have a PrtScn button on ur keyboard?

I thought all keyboards had this as a default key.

Probably his picture editor is not working.

what MS Paint not working?

The button is there, i've tried pressing it, it doesnt work...................... hence my request. Feel that if i had some decent screen shots my models would get downloaded a bit more, like i say don't forget the signalling!

Have you tried pressing Alt + PrntScrn at the same time? Then if you open any picture package, even Paint, then if you look for 'paste' from the drop-down menu ) or just press Ctrl+V it should be there.

Splendid models, by the way - I live within sight of Lichfield TV Junction box and I can testify to your rendition of it being a cracking model. Well done, and keep it up. It's a shame that the lack till now of screen shots has put off downloaders, but I'd encourage you to press on with your excellent work.

Sold to the man in Lichfield, went into paint, right clicked and hey presto Ditton Junction No2 appeared................................. never even knew that

Also, there is a file created in the MSTS directory, scrgrbx.pcx, where x is a new number for each screen shot. Resets when you restart MSTS

When I first started in MSTS it took me a while to figure that out...when I looked in the MSTS folder I found I had taken 243 screenies

God help me then

thats how mine used to be, took me screen shots went into the main folder and there they were waiting for me in their own folder, but for some reason it doesn't do it any more hence my request. Just shows you how usefull these forums are

Search in http://www.train-sim.com for a program called RapidShot.

It will grab your screenshots from the clipboard and save them to a file of your choice.

thanks i'll give it a go
