    Press F9 for a more user controlled screenshot. Or Print Screen for a quickie.

    While in-game, press the F9 key. This will bring up a check box that will allow you to remove all interfaces from the picture when you are taking it. Names will still show up unless they are turned off in "Systems" -> "Options" -> "Interface" or while in-game, press "Print Screen".

    You can find your screenshots in the \Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International\element\screenshots folder.

    While F9 is how you hide the UI, there is more to taking screenies than just that, if you want really quality ones. For example, F9 doesn't hide the name of your character. If you want to take high quality ones, I suggest checking out Cocobelle's brief illustrated guide. http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1149921

    I managed to do it. The big issue that I'm having now is finding the folder that they are in. I read where you all said that they should be posted. I just can't seem to find that folder. Lol. Nonethelss, Thank you all again for your responses. Hopefully, I'll find the folder soon enough. Lol.

    Go to My Computer, then the drive that you have the game installed (usually C drive). Then click on the the pwi folder>element>screenshots and you will be golden b:pleased

    Just to add on it, screenshots are in the bitmap format. To use them in tickets (when you report bugs, harassers and such), you have to convert them into .jpg files. I guess it would be the same if you want to link them in these very forums after having put them in a hosting site...

    Take care! Later.
    Maintenance time. Please choose a line:
    - When is it over? OMG I need my fix!! *super spazzing*
    - Fix the damn bugs, dammit! I'm so angry! I'll quit!!
    - New codes out there? I like free stuff~ *wink*
    - When will we get new content? QQ
    - Will we get sales? I got a ton of gold to spend.
    - I'm bored, I'll create a useless thread to annoy Opkorock.
    - *Incessant poking on Sweetiebot* Fun~
