I'm building another reference for my new character and I forgot which screen catpture program I used on the character select screen.

what program would you recommend?

Thunder is good, thunder is impressive, but lightning does the work.

well you can do print screen and paste in a paint program, or you can use wegame, that works too.

I thought print screen didn't work on character select screen...or is that why I don't remember what program I used, cause i didn't use any

If you have any kind of paint program, open it. Get back into coh, hit print screen. If you're NOT in Vista, you can then tab out to the paint program and hit paste or the appropriate item in that program's menu (like, new, paste to new, etc).

If it's vista there's something else to do I think, you'd have to ask someone else.

If you don't HAVE a paint program I highly recommend Paint Shop Pro 8 - the cheap, earlier version than the ones out right now. By Jasc, not corel. You can get it online inexpensively and it does everything you'd ever need an art program to do, and it's pretty easy to use.

When you hit printscrn inside of the costume creator, it saves it to the clipboard, not the screenshot folder. So you have to manualy paste it into Paint

I go into the creator, click printscreen and ctrl V in paint shop and nothing comes up :/

Are you using vista? Because like I said there is another thingie in between I think, for vista.

You might try going into windowed mode for COH, that might make it easier.

Go into your COH menu / options and check to see that it's listed in your keybinds. If it's not, PUT IT THERE.

Hm. ... Have you tried finding new drivers for it, if it's like a logitec they may release new ones. Otherwise... broken key?

Maybe try binding printscreen in the game to another key. And then, get a new keyboard heh.

I use Vista and its works fine for me: Print Screen > Paste into Paint
