steve25805 120,703 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Sorry guys. I did not know where else to post this. I have windows 11 but suddenly my screenshot button, print screen has ceased to work. I have tried every fix I can find online but still have this problem. Since most of my pics of late have been screenshots this is going to seriously reduce the number of pics I can provide. I have so much shit on my laptop re the fetish that I dare not take it in for repair, nor am I going to replace it when everything is fine apart from that. Am open to suggestions but chances are I have probably already tried it. I have a ton of screenshots already saved but once I have gotten around to sharing them I will be posting fewer pics, unless I can resolve this. Quote Link to post
steve25805 120,703 Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 There appears to be a work around that works I think....clicking print screen with the windows key seems to work but its a bit of a pain. Quote Link to post
WetDreamer 21,124 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I cannot solve your problem, but suggest you take a back up of all your picture and video material to an external drive. You do not want to lose it all, if things get worse and you have a major windows crash. 1 Quote Link to post
Merkus 196 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Do you have the snipping tool on your computer? I use it for work all the time and I’m on windows 11 1 Quote Link to post
Peevert 883 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I have the snipping tool on Windows 7 and use it all the time. On Windows 7 it's located in %windir%\system32\SnippingTool.exe 1 Quote Link to post
gldenwetgoose 20,104 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I feel your pain - on the Apple Mac OS the screen snip tool is surprisingly primitive. It exists and let’s you capture full screen or a dragged dotted box area. And it can capture still images or video clips. But there it’s usefulness ends. There’s not control over image format and if I remember rightly it’s a PNG format output. What I often end up doing is using a Photoshop script to pull a batch of grabs from their folder and to resize to a sensible size, then save as JPG with a moderate compression. The result is a much smaller image, still visually ok but a lot quicker to load and use - plus less chance of hitting the site 5MB size limit. 1 Quote Link to post
