Achat is being glitchy in allowing the use of screenshots
across all of the cities.  One day it will work fine, the next,
when you most want one it refuses to work and I have found
this year it is working less and less.  Much like Summer which
should be renamed Glitch, for after a short visit it will
seize up and force me to end the task.

Does anyone know why the screenshots are acting up ?
Is it operator error ?  It used to work fine on my desktop
but with my new lappie it does not.

Any ideas on a fix would be greatly appreciated.

Never had this prob. 

  But

  Is your laptop up to date ?  By that I mean Windows and your Graphics driver ?

  I've just tried it and on my end it is working...  I press the icon and a command prompt box flickers on and off and then File Explorer appears showing where the screenshot is on the hard drive.

  Are the screenshots there on your laptop ?  Worth just having a looksie.

  And I know what you mean about Summer.  When I exit to lobby the background pictures are just white.

Yes my lappie is a new Dell XPS 17 9700
Windows 10 and all the graphics

I got some shots in winter today .. the screenshots folder appears at the time
and shows the new photo .. other times the folder opens but no photo

It is very hit and miss affair and think there must be some conflict but
no idea what to do (I have uninstalled and re-downloaded achat with the
same result)

Any ideas ?

I have never used Achats screen shots as the screen shot folder kept going missing and i could never find the pics after.

I have used this free programme for some time now with no issues and make my own folders.

For taking images - Lightshot Http://app.prntscr.com/en/download.html

Hope this helps.

Another good program for screen shots is bandicam  https://www.bandicam.com/

the free version lets you record 10 minutes of video or take  screen shots.
super easy to use and install. what I like is the ability to take screen shots from the video you just made.

You just have to take a picture and that folder will open ... after which you can make a shortcut on the desktop and call it screenshots .

  Whether it's a new laptop or not.  Still needs updating if and when there is any.

  I had one a few days ago.  Took bloody ages.   :D

  If anyone can't find their pics they are here :-

  Windows/Users/Yournamehere/Appdata/Local/Achat/Screenshots


  Windows default hides the Appdata folder.

  Unhide :-

  Open file explorer.

  Select View and then options.  (Far right)

  View Tab opens and select View tab.

  Find hidden files and folders and select Show hidden folders and drives.

  Hit apply and then ok.

  Sorry if stating something that everyone knows already.   :P

I also use Lightshot like Vaughan does and works perfectly.  I can save the pic where ever I direct it.  However, Jayc, 10 minutes of video sounds awesome.  Perfect to record many things.  LOL  Thanks for the suggestion!!
