screenshots paying hide and go seek with me...

[Oscar]

peek a boo, where are you? I see you're not in the screen shots folder and I took like 10 of you so where are the screenshots! They're not in the screenshots folder so where do the screenshots save to when you take some in NL 1.6?

nolimits hates you...[approve] (just look at one of the other 5,000 topics about this im sure one of them has the answer [;)])

Are you on Vista. Check your users, them your user name folder go to app data then local then virtualstore and then nolimits 1.6.

[Oscar]

in my user folder there is no app data so now where do I go?
yes it's vista

This probably won't work, but sometimes it works for me when opening objects that won't appear in the browser.

Go the Screenshots file from NL 1.6, and in the search tab, type in the name of the track you were taking screenshots of. If the dropdown file shows you the names of the screenshots, it just means the computer wasn't recognizing the filetype and hiding them from you so you couldn't open them. Sometimes it works. [:)]

[Oscar]

nope, nothing doing that

i've been hacing the same problem and i never found a solution so i resorted to printscreen, i've tried literally everything the people above have tried, and i've tried many other things, even re-installing NL...nothing worked... i hate to burst your bubble but from the sounds of it, you're out of luck bud. sorry

[Oscar]

well that sucks, needs a patch!

works fine slap? or did you find it.

Mine did the same thing, but after I changed both the sim and the editor to compatibility mode for XP and told them to run as an administrator (in the properties window and compatibility tab of a link to both .exes), it works. I think it has something to do with non-admin accounts not allowing programs to make new files or something. You won't get the old ones back but new shots should be in the same old folder.

Hope this helps.

i acctually tried that and it didnt work at all, maybe wws will have better luck

[Oscar]

got it, I hit compatability button in that folder and it worked, though I am running it as admnistrator, piff, still, needs patch

...Run as admin...just a suggestion...

uhm well i still havn't found any solution to this problem, (not sure where the socalled "compatability" button is. but my screenshot ability is still severly crippled...my current solution is having austin take all my screens for me lol, (no offense austin, yours are good, but i like to take my own)

[Oscar]

navigate to the folder using windows explorer, when you get to thenscreenshots folder, there should be a button in the menu or right below it that says compatability

uhm there still isnt any compatabiliy button, i already have the folders on my "administrator" acount, and it still doesnt make a difference. and no matter how i change the properties of the folder i still get nothing...

[Oscar]

go to my computr, right click, properties, format c:








( just kidding )
I dunno, yours is broken?

lol permanently broken i guess... no screenshots for me....oh well (this is why i havn't posted a coaster since august)

See if you can get Windows XP or 2000.
Problems should go away immediatly once you meet the system requirements for NL.

[Oscar]

Noooo, I don't think the idea is for someone to go back in time OS wise, maybe NL should be modified to be up to present OS times. At least that's what all or most software companies do.

Vista likes hiding things in the program files folder so you have to hit that button to see them. Even if you are running as an administrator.

there's no way i'm going back to xp, i guess untill NL upgrades to vista compatibility my NL usage is over... elementary stopped working, screenshots stopped working, nothing really works anymore, so i guess untill they upgrade my NL career is officially over.

what about starting a hand-build career and making the screenshots with printscreen? [;)]

alot of my rides have helix's in them. its extremly hard to make a perfect radii'd helix just from hand.

i've had no NL serious problems with Vista.
the screenshots hide, but if i go to open them with photoshop there all there, or click the button.

but you guys got a point, NL needs updated for Vista.
