Screen shots on Windows 3.1

[Lymril]

I have the old CD version of ITE for Windows 3.1.  Is there a way to take screen shots with this version?  If so, where are the files saved?  I tried using PrtScrn and looking in the main directory but I didn't find anything there.

Thanks!

Make sure you're not viewing it full screen.
Then use PrntScrn and go to any kind of paint program (though I'd recommend Paint Shop Pro 7) and say "cntrl V". Just crop off all the unnecessary sides. I've got a whole host of screenshots at http://pics.livejournal.com/manage/gals. -_-

Actually, it's not Windows 3.1.  It's a DOS game.  I can't put it into a window.
I tried your link but it took me to my own gallary manager rather than yours.

Ooops. Well, that makes sense. :embarrassed:

You probably know how to get to someone else's scrapbook from their journals better than I do (I'm really new to livejournal) so you can just go there through my profile.

You could also try just to prnt scrn it maximised, although that made it come out all black and red and purple for me, it might be different for you.

I have something else that might work.  I'll give it a shot and if it doesn't I'll have to work on something else. 

Oh, I think your friends are waiting for you in the RP thread on RHJunior.

I don't think there is any in-game screen-save ability in the DOS version, but I'll check the source code.

I would appreciate it.  The other thing I tried was an old DOS TSR that I got ages ago.  ITE refuses to run with the TSR running in memory.  I seem to remember that ITE was always fussy about memory.

Download DOSBox Lymril, It runs DOS games in full and windowed mode. Then U print scrn and junk like that. Google DOSBox, it's pretty infamous so it shouldn't be too hard to get a copy. Also, just press print scrn and minimise the game by pressing the Windows Button (Inbetween Ctrl and Alt). Unless, of course, you are running this game thru pure DOS (Not Windows), then I wouldn't know sorry.

I have checked and there is no screen-saving option in DOS ITE. (There actually is code to do that, but it is was disabled in the release version.)

[Lymril]

Okay, thank you for checking on that for me!
