Thank you.


Hi winwinglo

There is no special software needed to capture stills of you screen.

the most simple way to do it when playing the came hold down the "ctrl" key on your key board and press the "prtscrn" / "sysrq" button. Some buttons have a picture of a monitor on them it just depends on your key board.
This does a screen grab of what ever you have on your screen and copies it to your clipboard. You should be able to go into an image editing package such as Photoshop. (if you have Photoshop it actually creates the new document at the size of your screen grab) Open a new document and simply just paste the the screen grab into it and save as the desired image format. and there you have it!

Bellow are some screen grabs from "Wings of War" that I have done

if it is actual AVI footage that you want to capture you could try "hpercam" this allows you to record what ever happens on your screen and allows you to save it as an AVI file. You can down load the demo version fro free.
