    Check here:

    C:\Program Files\Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International\element\screenshots

    (of course first part may be different if you installed it somewhere else ... but I believe that's the default)

    No, it works just fine in Vista and Win7. If you can't find it the traditional way...

    Right click on your shortcut to launch PW, choose properties. On the shortcut tab hit the "find target" button. That will put you in your install directory \patcher. Go up a directory then into element then into screenshots.

    Or do a search for "elementclient.exe" right click and open containing folder which will be elements, then go into screenshots.

    Err.. I think it might depend on how you took the screenshot. If you use F9 and then click the thingy, I think it saves to there.

    If you simply use the print screen button, then I have no idea where it goes. Haven't been able to find those yet.
    Everyone here is ridiculously oversensitive.

    hmmmm, I always used printscreen... guess I'll use the F9 method then.
    thanks for your help :)

    Yes, use the built in F9 method. The reason being it can do some camera fine-tuning as well as remove the HUD.

    If you really want to be fast though, PrintScreen always saves to Clipboard.

    So you would need to hit PrtScrn, Alt-Tab out of the game and load up MSPaint (or a similar image editing program). Press Ctrl+V to paste the image, and then save the image.

    Hmm, thats odd, coz I've always used printscreen for screenies (alt+H for the hud) and that has always saved it for me in the element's folder. Will give the exact path later on.

    You might want to put shortcut to your desktop without going through your programs.

    \Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International\element\screenshots

    That is the directory, or similar that they should be in. When you press the Prnt Scrn key on your keyboard, that is where they are saved.
    Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?

    PrintScreen button also saves to the same directory, the only difference between that and F9 is that you can remove the HUD and change camera angles. I installed PW in D:\Program Files so the path for me is D:\Program Files\Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International\element\screenshots.
