    Screen Capture doesn't work.

    I am trying to take screen shots of a game I am playing (due to the game having poor screen shot support (if hit Print Screen it only saves a image to the clipboard).

    However, it is not working. Have tried changing the key combos (tried F10, ALT + Z, etc). also tried changing the capture area.
    No screens get saved to the designated folder at all.

    I am playing the game with a controller, but I don't see how that would interfere with irfanview. the KB/Mouse still work in-game.
    the only other thing, is the game has some overlay (its on Steam), so am not sure if that could be causing an issue?

    I have used irfanview to take screen shots in games successfully before (although not with this one), so I don't know what's wrong now.

    I am on XP using latest irfanview.

    (I am aware Steam has a built in screen shot feature, however, I want to save them as uncompressed PNG and not low-quality JPG (which Steam is limited to).

    Yes, it's the overlay.
    Its: Belongs to "It"
    It's: Shortened form of "It is"

      Hi.

      You need a clipboard capture program. I think Clipcache has a free version if I remember correct.
      If it hurts not to drint, don't waste the bottle then.

        That won't help; the overlay prevents normal screen caps.
