I just won a 21 lap race at Monza on Pro level, and I wanted to make a
copy of the newspaper to use as a windows wallpaper.
I read that to do this I had to press the printscreen key. GPL would
make a pbf file in the gpl folder of the newspaper.
So I pressed printscreen, the newspaper disappeared, and there was no
pbf file in my gpl folder.

I thought that maybe a copy of the newspaper was in my pc's memory. So
I started paint shop and chose 'paste'. I just got a black screen.

Anyone know how to make a copy of the newspaper to use in a paint
program?

Press the Print Screen key. This will, or should, create a file in the GPL
folder called GPLss01.pbf. Drag this over the file called pbf2ta.exe, and a
Paint Shop Pro file, or similar, will be created.

Maybe my memory is full of holes (Very likely large holes) but isn't
it F12, you're supposed to press to get a screenshot????

I saw the .pbf file, but when I dragged it, I don't see where the new file
was created. I even ran the .exe file just to see what it does, but nothing
appears.

It changes it into a .tga file extension and it creates it in the same
directory as the pbf2tga.exe

Regards Phil.

Thanks, Phil. I got it to work by opening up a DOS box and running
"pbf2tga.exe gplss01.pbf"
