Switch to windowed mode. You should be able to cap normally.

Windowed mode plays the game in a smaller window, allowing you to see the rest of your desktop. Here's a link: http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Window_mode

Yeah what about those of us who don't want to have to Windows mode every time? :p I would love to take a normal screen shot again.

Hit print-screen.

Go to your screenshots folder.

Open the image with a third-party image viewer. e.g. IrfanView

Save as... jpeg

You know the rest.

It can actually run out of space if you have many screenshots

Considering this is a new computer, is 0 too many? I heard a lot of other people are having that problem. Like in full screen mode it doesn't recognize nwn as a program running on the desktop, unless of course, it's in windows mode. then it's a snap shot of your desktop.

I've always found taking screenshots in NWN annoying in one way or another so I've always used third party software. I used to use Xfire but now I use Fraps.

You just install it and it runs in the background and you can set video capture and screenshots to whatever keys you want.
