Enable to take screenshot from any game.

Sat Mar 23, 2013 11:34 pm

Hello, I'm not able to take any screenshot in game.

It's always like this: The option is grey and I can't change it.

I run the latest version of action!, I format my pc and it still the same issue.
I can record game without any trouble.

The option is grayed out because you only have 1 monitor...

When you have 2 monitors, youll be able to select what monitor the screenshot is taken from.

Try pressing F12 inside a game and see if it works.

Thanks for the answer but I can push whatever key I want (F12 in that case), it doesn't do anything.

I just tried taking screenshots too, I press F12 (the keybind for it, I checked), and no screenshots are taken... or they are saved into another folder?

Is there any way you could add a "Chose the folder" to save the screenshots in? I would REALLY like to NOT save them on my C: drive... :D

Of course you can change default folder. Just open screenshots tab in Action!, then you can select whatever folder you want (in the left panel).
Desktop (Intel i7-970, ATI 5870, Windows 7 x64)
Acer Aspire TimelineX 3830TG (Intel i5-2410M, nVidia GT540M, Windows 7 x64)
PS Vita, Nokia N8

Default folder is C:\Users\UserName\Pictures\Action!
Already checked and nothing inside, like also the one where the screen should appear. It simply doesn't work for me.
