Screenshot help.

So I was reading the Railworks Driver Manual about taking screenshots and it states it copies the contents of the screen to the "Windows paste buffer". What is the Windows paste buffer? Also would I have to alt tab out of the game to save the screenshot?

Hi ed123,

This how I do it when in Full Screen mode, Press the 'Print Screen' key (Top Right of keyboard). Now press the 'Windows' key, then open your Picture program (say Paint.net or Photoshop) and then click on the 'Edit' tab and click 'Paste'. Adjust the screenshot to the permitted size if posting on the Forum and save the picture as a .jpg file. Just click on the RailWorks Tab which will be at the bottom of the screen to return to RW to take your next shot.

Sounds harder than it actually is doing it.

I believe the "Windows paste buffer" is your Clipboard.

Thanks for the info emrhd01, I'll give it a try today. It seems a lot of trouble though just to take a screenshot when you could just use Fraps.

Perhaps a better way rather than using Fraps is to use MultiGrab, a super little tool that will grab all you shoot. Sorry, but I have a personal loathing for Fraps.
