Ebodee Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 What is up with Sys RQ being the screenie button instead of print-scrn? Did I miss something in readme file, what is going but no screens I can take? Be gentle boys and lube well!!
Weta43 Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Keyboards - Print screen and SysRq are the same button on my keyboard ... Go to the options and you can assign the key that you want... Cheers.

Panzertard Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 ED; Some keyboards have "PrtScr" + "ScrLk" + "Pause" labels only (and not the double labels like for other keyboards). The mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's open | The important thing is not to stop questioning

If you have Vista, and UAC is enabled, you won't be getting any screenshots to your DCS folder. Solution: modify the permissions of the "user" group to "full" or in any case also include "write". What Vista users are basically running into is the same problem why any program with no administrator privileges cannot write to Program Files etc. -Z [sigpic][/sigpic] I aaaaaam ... a banana!
Ebodee Posted August 10, 2009 Author Posted August 10, 2009 You are correct and actually I need to run BS as an admin else Vista won't allow BS to write screenshots to the folder. Odd but I would rather keep my user accounts active for security.

Odd but I would rather keep my user accounts active for security. Change the permission of the screenshots folder (or the entire BS folder) and you will be able to run BS with the normal user privilege.
enigmatics Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Or disable UAC altogether, problem solved. Also, if a program tries to change files within its own directory and UAC is enabled Vista will route the file to a folder of the same name somewhere in the User directory, I forget where. I can't remember if this was something a program had to support along with vista, either. It's been over 24 hours since I've slept... Otherwise just disable UAC and all your problems will disappear... until a bot takes over your computer...
EtherealN Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Yeah, I was going to add that thing with the "bot". Basically, if your system gets compromised and you have UAC off, your one last line of defence against unauthorized changes to your system has been removed. It's annoying, but an added line of defence is never wrong imo.

Set proper permission solves on folders / files / rgeistry may solve problems. Turning off UAC as as bad as using blank password on your accounts - not a big problem until someone knock on your door (to Windows ..). :) Getting a habit of turning off UAC for everything is a *very* bad security practise.

JG14_Smil Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 screenies and other trk files and such get sent to a Users/Virtual Store folder in Vista when UAC and default folders are used.
