Print screen doesn't work in Vista Admin mode

Post by Wills »

Mostly, my movies are shot on Windows Vista. I create them manually by pressing the print screen button for each frame I want to capture. However, I've now encountered an application (InstallShield Premium v15) that must be started in Admin mode and my problem is that the print screen button no longer works in this mode. Do you have a workaround? How else can I trigger a frame capture?

Does your keyboard have 2 functions for each of the F buttons? If so, the toggle setting for your keyboard may be set to the other function while logged on as an admin - toggle the setting and see if that helps.

And yes, this has caught me out - that's why I know about it... :wink:
