I'm running Win7 and can't seem to get any screen shots in-game, anyone know of a way I can do this?
I've been running into different things here and there since I upgraded to Win7.
I guess I should have stuck with XP or at least get another comp to for Halo CE specifically.

add -screenshot to your shortcut and use prntScrn to take screenshots. they'll appear as .tga in your halo ce root directory

oooorrr, get xfire, chat with friends, record video, AND take screenshots. Plus it's all saved into one area. Less hassle.

I don't see the point of this "-screenshot" stuff. Just open halo normally, Ctrl+PrtSc, paste into paint, save, that's how I do it.
You don't even need to use Ctrl, btw.

I tried prntscrn and pasted it into paint but all I got was a black picture. But adding -screenshot works for me so I'm fine with that.

-screenshot already takes pics without messing up performance

I like this -screenshot command, makes things easy for me. Really no need for Fraps just to take screenshots, plus I never cared for Fraps anyway, no offense to those who do.
But thanks guys you were a big help. Changing over to win7 and trying to figure out things since some stuff didn't work and was slightly different.
