I have the full, registered, paid for copy. I can get in game screenshots, etc. (say of ARMA, etc.). However, I cannot get it to take just plain old screenshots of the desktop. Is this normal? Help, please!

Thanks!

Yes that's normal. Just press Print Screen then open up an image editor (I use Paint.net) and paste it in.

Check the "Screenshot" tab or w/e it is in Fraps. Set a hotkey, mine is F10. When you take it the numbers on the top should turn green for a second, confirming that it took a screenshot. Then it should be in your output folder. C:<Fraps for default.

For typical screenshots made easy, download Hoversnap.
3 quick shortcuts to take a shot of the entire visible screen, another for the active window only and another that is a custom area, drag a box around what you want.
Extremely useful little app, and it's free. Been using it for years.

Fraps is just for video.
