My screenshots aren't saving to the default folder?
Is there a way to figure out where they are.
I didn't change it and have checked all the obvious places...

    ok this is what i did right click on the PWI icon go to "open files" and look for the folder that says "element" open it once in there, there is a folder called "screen shots" and your screen shots will be there

    Well, for me, the directory goes like this.

    Go to "Computer"

    and then...

    C:\Games\Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International\element\screenshots


    That's where yours should be, too, if you used default directory when installing!

    Hope it helps! b:victory

    I cant find my screenshots anyplace.
    I've tried what yall sayed and nothing is there.

    And it was installed to the default location which on my pc isnt C/Games,PW isnt even listed in my Games folder.

    PWI is in my Documents/downloads folder and shows no Element folder at all...it only lists PW Installalation Folder and files.

    Floyd which PWI icon did you right click on? the desktop icon or one of the 3 PWI icons in the PWI folder?

    Did you try searching all locations for the term "screenshots"?

    Documents/Download doesn't sound like the default installation folder, it sounds like the default download location.

    When PWI got installed, it was saved to somewhere on your hard drive. When you double click on 'My Computer' what do you see? Post a screenie or write out the names of what you see exactly.

    You are likely to have some drives called C:, D:, E:, and so forth.

    i just click the install button and let it install whereever it shows by default,i never even look.
    WoW installed automatically to the location its in as well which is diffrent then most peoples.

    When you click install there is always a location listed automatically,to me that should be the default location so i never even look.

    It would much more user friendly if screenshots got saved automatically to the desktop then you could place them wherever you wanted to or delete them.

    PW is in C/Users/Me/Documents/Downloads

    Its pretty hard to help you find something on your computer.

    The only things I can advise is:

    1.) Look for the default directory: C:\Program Files\Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International\element\screenshots
    2.) Try looking for the "games" folder under C:drive, I know some save it there.
    3.) Search your entire computer for the terms "element", "screenshots", or "perfect world".
    4.) If all else fails, suicide.

    Well once you've took a screenshot you have to copy it in microsoft word,paint or microsoft picture manager(I suggest picture manager).So open the program then if is microsoft picture manager choose the folder u want to save it in and press ctrl+v if is word or paint just press ctrl+v and then save it. I hope u found it helpful.b:laugh

    Considering that your advice is wrong, that the last date this was posted in was 2 years ago, I'd say they didn't find it helpful at all.


    tl;dr version: Take your necro and gtfo.
