right click on the halo desktop icon, and go to properties. then put " -screenshots" after the target; like this;[ "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\halo.exe" -screenshots] then, when you hit the printscreen button in game, the images will go to a new "screenshots" folder in your Halo folder. You will probably need to convert the images from tga to jpg. Get this program to do it: http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=280

Until you re-write that last post and translate it into English. I won't even bother to waste my time on you.

And use the Image button.

yes, press the button in game. as for the -screenshots thing, make sure there is a space between the end quotation mark and -screenshots. once you type that in, the folder called screenshots will automatically be created, and when you press the print screen key, the images will go to that folder. As for convim, if it dosn't work, you probably have to get the dll's, which are also available in the link I gave you. Once you download the dll's, and run them, you will be able to use Convim to convert the Tga files to jpegs.

no you press the button while looking at your desktop and magically it takes a screenshot of the exact part of halo that you were thinking of. what a dumb question.
