some confussion

[AndiLynn]

I'm sorry if this has been posted to death, but I've been trying to take screen shots and do not know where the pictures are going. I see .txt files that were originated when I took the screen shots by pressing F9. Also, when I press F9, my screen goes back to the desktop, and the computer tries to launch the game all over again, Here is a screen shot of my file, nothing is going there. I was wondering if there was something I needed to download to make them show up? Thanks

it must be a glitch

Try doing a search on "screenshot*.jpg" to see if they're going somewhere else.

Also, are you running as an administrator? Programs aren't supposed to write things into the Program Files directory, but POTCO does anyway. If you;re not an administrator, it might just be silently failing. But then the rest of the game would probably be failing too, so that's probably not it...

It is likely that the game is not taking any screenshot if its causing you to exit game/switch to desktop and relaunch game.

I suspect an application is running that is capturing the F9 key outside of POTCO.

When I ran a screen capture application on my vista machine it did something similar because it didnt have write access, do Bilgepump may also be on to something.
