Everytime I try and hit that infamous "V" key to take a screen shot I get this notification...

Does anyone have an idea what the problem is... or could be?

Thanks
Cool

have you tried using the "PRNT SCRN/SYSRQ" key??? that is generally what key to use to CAPTURE a screen shot.

then simply open your photo editor software of choice, and PASTE your screenshot.

edit to taste then save!!! ... Happy shooting!

Yes but you can only take one screenshot then you have to constantly minimize the game to save it.

I have a program called FSScreen which works great and allows you to take any number of screenies.

If you do use the single shot 'PrintScreen/SysRq' button, take it immediately to 'Paint' - save as JPEG then go to your favorite edit program.
