Can't make it work for the life of me. I've tried all methods, Alt+F9 and the ol' Prnt Scrn button and paste into Paint. None of it works, the only thing I can get is from the Prnt Scrn button, which takes a screenshot of whatever is beneath my game (i.e. Chrome, iTunes, Desktop). I'm typically good with computers but this one has me at a loss. My Screenshot folder in Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2011 doesn't have anything it in no matter what I do.
Hi there! I think I find a solution for that problem, especially for those running Windows 7. It worked for me, so I think it will work for you, too. There are only 3 simple steps:
1. Close out of the programme you are having trouble with capturing the screen. (FM.exe whatsoever)
2. Right click on the shortcut of the programme on your desktop
1) Click on
Properties.
2) Click on the
Compatibility tab.
In the middle area of that tab, there should be a bunch of check boxes under Settings. Click in the box alongside
Disable desktop composition.
3) Apply the changes, click
OK.
3. Open up your programme, press on your Print Screen (
PrntScr) button, open up Windows Paint and paste your image (
Ctrl + V).
Is everything alright now? If not, right click somewhere on your desktop and click
Personalize on the contextual menu. Then
Change the visuals and sounds on your computer page should be displayed. I suppose that one of the Aero theme is currently selected. Choose one of the
Basic theme and you will be able to do some screenshots again. (H)
