Screenshot Folder.

Heres my problem:

I moved the SS folder a few weeks back because I wanted to start fresh with my folder. However it then said on GW that my SS folder is full. So I moved the SS folder back (I had renamed the folder SS1), and I'm still having the same problem. I moved all the SS's into a completely new folder in My Documents, and deleted the folder in the GW file.

I went ingame and it's still saying my SS is full. Any help with this? o.O

What OS are you using?

I'm using Windows 7.

Why did you move the folder? The game needs to have a folder named screenshots at that place in The Documents, so it can save the files there. Can't you just copy your pictures to some other place and delete only the contents of the folder after that ?

When my Screens folder become full I rename it to lets say ss1 and then create a new folder named Screens there. This works fine)

I have over 8K of screenshots (yeah that's too much, I know). When the game first time mentioned me about full screenshotfolder I just renamed the full screenshot folder as "Screenshots1" and made new folder named with the same name as it was as default when gw was installed. Screenshot or Screenshots, I am not sure cause I'm not on my own pc =P Hope this helps.

If it thinks your folder is full, three possible reasons come to mind: 1) You have the settings on the folder as "Read Only." or 2) You did not name the folder correctly, or 3) You have the folder some place other than where GW is looking for it.

If I had to guess, I'd say reason 1 is your problem.

In Windows 7 the screenshots directory is saved in "My Documents/Guild Wars/Screens". In Windows XP the screenshots are saved in "Program Files/Guild Wars/Screens". Make sure you check and move the correct directories, in case you've upgraded your operating system recently.

That's where my money is.

Actually, I have Windows 7 and when I check my Screens folder (under My Documents), it's set to "Read Only" but it works normally.
Speaking of which, the correct name for the folder is "Screens" not "SS" or "screenshots" (just so we're clear. )

However I think it may be connected to "Permissions".

One thing to try - right click on your GW icon and select "Run as Administrator"

or you could check the Permissions for the folder (right-click > Properties > Security tab). SYSTEM should be on the group list.

of course, this is assuming that GW may treat all Screens folder errors as "Full".
