I had this problem once... but it was after I'd had RF installed for a while, and we all know it gets stagnant and buggy if you do that Unusual it should happen after a fresh installation of windows and RF tho

If you are using a Newer keyboard that either uses a USB port or PS2 connection, install the drivers for it.

If you are not, contact Microsoft for help on this issue.

Try taking screenshots of your desktop, go into MSPaint and click "Edit >Paste". If your desktop appears, the Screenshot button is working.

You might have to do this with Red Faction. Usually it takes a screenshot and saves a JPG picture in its directory. If its not doing this, then your going to be stuck with the old MSPaint techinque

I do the "old MS Paint" technique anyway.
Back in RF... getting back into the swing of things!

Aww...just remembered something...try doing it manually...see if it works...

Pull down console(~) and type "dump_rep", I beleive that is the manual command for taking a screenie.

Search download.com for "free screen capture". There are some great little progs that can run in the background and most of them allow you to set up your own hotkeys for PrintScrn.
If I ever get to where I am going, will I know when I am there?
