I have never taken any screenshots at all for guild wars, and yet, whenever I TRY to, it says "Your screenshot folder is full." It says this in spite of the fact that I haven't taken any before. Before my first attempt (i had been playuing guild wars around 2 months then) I didn't even know HOW to take a screenshot. Please help!

Pr Scrn, it's right of F12.

I got that too yesterday, the cap is 1500 shots I belive. Just Cut/Paste the screenies to a new location, and make a new Screens Folder.

Post some screenies of your GW folder and tell us how many screenshots you have.

I already know HOW, whenever i TRY to take a screenshot, it does not work and says that "Your Screenshot Folder is full." and will not let me take it. It has never worked. Please explain how i "make a new screens folder".

In that case you must of accidentally hit "PrtScrn" 1500 times then...

Before you delete them you should go through them and keep any worth keeping... never know there might be a screen in there that you will remember what happened

I love taking screenshots in the Shiverpeaks awesome views... sometimes I just run to a location just to take a screenshot the view is sometimes breathtaking.

Goto your screenshots directory in the GuildWars folder and move the files out of the directory. Its either that or you hard drive = full capacity.

Sounds like a bug maybe. I'd rename your screenshot folder and try again. It may just make a new folder and you should be good to go then.

I can't even FIND a screenshots folder in my computer's memory. I don't know what to do know. I doubt that I deleted it, and I don't know how to make one. I guess I'm just screwed.

The screenshots folder is in your Guild Wars directory. I think the default instal location is C:/Program Files/Guild Wars/ but I never use the default so I couldn't say for sure.

Also, check how much space you've got left on your hard drive, you may just not have any room left. And the game does save them as bitmaps, so they're not exactly small files.
