Can somebody tell me how to take screen shots? I have fuzzy images and lines on the UI panel I would like to post but I don't know how.

The first thing I'd try is the Print Screen button on your keyboard (PrtScn). That puts a copy of the screen into the Windows Clipboard and from there just Paste it into a graphics app to modify it. After saving the file (JPG format to make it smaller) in Dropbox (you may have something else) I put a link into the forum message. I think you can use the tags around it, too but I haven't used that and am not sure how it works.

Just download Fraps, the free version, which have the advantage over the PrtScn for saving to the hardisk instead of the clipboard. This way you can take more than 1 shot.

FRAPS doesn't recognize Panzer Corps.

Didn't know.

Edit: I just tried Greenshot, at least this works well with CTRL+PrtScn

I found out recently that, on the 'General' tab of Fraps, if you check the box marked 'Monitor Aero Desktop' (DWM), you can record anything, including Panzer Corps.
