&$%)*!@*! GPL Screen Save

Won my first full length, full spec race in GPL--after a year and a half!!!!!!!!! Used the PrintScreen function to save the newspaper (beat Hill by .45 sec and Bandini by 10) and got a 0K useless .pbf file as a result. I know I have read other messages from people who had this same problem. What the hell is the fix!?!?!?! In case I ever win again, I would like to know! Thanks, Marc. -- **************************************************************************** Marc Collins [email hidden] Your mouse has moved.

There is a file called pbf2tga.exe in your gpl folder. Drag the pbf file to it, and it will be converted into a tga file which u can then view Martyn_D Marc Collins wrote:

No it won't. The problem Marc, is that you're using either OpenGL or D3D. This means the screengrabs do not capture correctly. That 0Kb pbf file is useless. You have to do ALT-printscreen which copies it into the clipboard, then leave GPL and paste it into Photoedit or Photoshop or something. Kev SKurj wrote:

I think you need an utility that converts the .pbf file to an other one. Check out www.thenorwaypits.com Marko Marc Collins <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:yAqi5.12533$[email hidden]...

Come to think of it, there is also a program that captures OpenGL, D3D, and all sorts of imaginable. The program is called.... ah hell...have to come back on monday, just cant remember the name.
