So apparently, I can't take a screenshot with my prtscn key. (it only copies the desktop, not the game for some reason) Is there a simple to use utility so I can catch screenshots from my non steam games?

    Gadwin PrintScreen is pretty great for this.

    Are you on Steam? Steam saves a screenshot of the game with the F12 key.

    Well, I usually use Steam for the games I have for it, but I was wanting to take some pics of my other games too. Thanks TychCel!

    Okay, that program didn't work. I tried to take a screenshot of my City of Heroes characters and it only copied a shot of the splash screen.

    The free version of FRAPS might work just as well as the paid version for this.

    I'm sure you've figured it out by now but there is a Screenshot key for City of Heroes. No need to use a Print Screen or anything like that.

    Irfanview works for screenshots, as does Fraps.
