3dfx: press print key and it saves the image in the gpl folder as a pbf file. if you use the d3d patch: Print key doesn't work, you can only make screenshots with the capture function of paint shop pro or a program like Hypersnap for example. Andre

Depends which video card you have. If you run a voodoo card (3dfx) pressing printscreen creates a file in the GPL folder called GPLss01.pbf. Everytime you press it, you get another picture. Convert them to tga with the pbf2tga.exe also in your GPL folder. If you have a card running openGL or D3D (TNT or Geforce), this doesn't work. The files all come out as 0kb. So, you have 2 options. 1 - Press Alt+printscreen together to take a single snapshot. This is held in the clipboard buffer. Open MSpaint or similar and paste it into a new picture. You can only do one picture at a time like this though. Good for snapping your name in lights on the race finishing newspaper. 2 - Get Hypersnap http://www.hyperionics.com/ This allows you to snap several pictures just by pressing printscreen. It saves them in a folder (designated by you). Very good but you have to have it running in the background BEFORE you run GPL. ie, great for getting pictures from replays. Kev
