Here's the problem, everythme I start my computer, on the desktop this message pops up saying "non preset mode"
Everytime I quit game back to the desktop it also says "non preset mode"", then starts to set up something. I am using window Xp, or perhaps it's the monitor setting or what ? I just don't want to see that stupid message anymore, help?

nvm I think, I just found out that window XP doesn't have the screen shot feature. Can't take picture for the screen. :( Whatever. Thanks anyway.

...Um...yes it does.

Hit Print Screen, CTRL+C to copy it, open paint, CTRL+V.

will try it soon.
The Help topic only tell me to do control v right after hitting the print screen key. It don't tell that CTRL +C is needed, so that is a dumb help topic? :9

...Help topic?

I always thought it was strange you had "Retired Moderator" as a title, but now it sort of makes sense. :P

You don't need to Ctrl + C o.o.
PRint Screen automatically copies it to your clipboard, you just need to Ctrl V in paint.

There are also programs that will grab the screenshot and put it straight into a file for you, but Print Screen puts it in the clipboard.

initialD, what's sending the message? A Windows utility like msconfig, or the game, or something totally different?
