 Screen Capture in windows 8 HI
I have just upgraded to windows 8 and the screen capture (shift PrtScn) just captures my desktop, not the SO6 screen.
How do you capture screenshots in SO6 under windows 8?

The options menu on the main game screen gives you various viewing options, including several window mode options.

Is there something you have to do at install time to set up windowed options.

When I change screen resolution to 1280 x 1024 a windowed mode is available. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction.

Re: Screen Capture in windows 8 Ran it in windowed mode and captured a screen.
Small problem, the crispness of the windowed image is not as good as running SO6 in full screen mode.
