I cannot think of anything definite
What operating system are you running?

I am running Win7 and I have a screen freeze of six or seven seconds when I take a screenshot.

As a test with my "Reduced UAW160V5" installation I re-named the "Screenshots" folder and ran the game. I was able to take a screenie, with the screen freeze, and when I had finished playing I checked the "Reduced UAW160V5" folder.
As I expected the exe had created a new "Screenshots" folder, and the screenie that I took was in it.

The screen freeze even happens in EAW1.2 irrespective of the key that I set for Screen Capture, so it is a problem with both of my Win 7 installations frown

I am not a sound expert at all, so I will not offer advice re- your request at this stage.
However, I have your problem with screenshots. There are a few EAW/UAW160 folders on my Win10 desktop and AFAIK I cannot take screenshots in any.
However, I copied an entire folder and pasted it on one of my internal drives. Running EAW in that folder allowed me to take screenshots.

Go figure wink

Reason found:
I just installed Avast antivirus a few days ago, and although it is letting me run the eaw.exe in a desktop folder (after checking it) it was not letting me modify the folder which included saving a screenie. When I added the desktop folder to the "Exceptions" then I was able to take screenies with no problems.
