I was using Vista before changing my HD out and reinstalling everything. I was able to find my screenshot folder. Now I am running windows 7. I can't find my screenshot folder anywhere. Is it hidden, something mess up , or am I just screwed!

Thanks for any help!

Yea, I've checked non stop in that folder thinking it has to be there. I've even done searches for bmp files. These are the only folders I see in Sony/Eq (86)

Im running Windows7 64bit. If that helps any.

Ok just checked that. I checked everything, and under the " Local " I could only find " My games" and it had Civ5 in it, no EQ. This is nuts, I knew where the screenshot file was before I changed to Win7 ( New hard drive,not upgrade). Rawr!


Thank you all for trying to help.I know helping someone though forums can suck!

Check for an EQ folder under Roaming.

Just a clarification here .. have you taken a screenshot yet? Eq will create the Screenshots folder(IF it doesn't exist) when you take your first screenshot. As I don't have Win7, I just tested this with WinXP, and the folder was created when I took the shot.

Yes I did, logging in now to make sure keybinding is correct too. I did see the yellow text of taking a screenshot tho. Just triple checking.


>Took 50 screenshots just now, no file or anything.
>Checked the roaming folder, found nothing. Did find teamspeak chatlog tho!

So who knows. Thank you all!

You likely have it installed in more than one directory. The shortcut that you use to run EQ, open the properties and see where it goes to, check there for your SS folder.

Checked, it's only under 1. This is unreal. I almost want to uninstall and try again. Thats a huge pain in the ass tho.

Are you pressing the in-game screenshot key (minus key on the numpad by default) or print screen? Does it say "Taking a screenshot..." in your chat window?

If you have User Access Control setup you may need to run EQ as an administrator or it won't have permission to write you SSs in your directory.

I don't have a copy of my eqclient but I'm pretty sure there was a place in there that specified where the screenshot directory was located. Find the directory it points to and make sure your account has full control to it.

You could run FileMon from SysInternals (Microsoft owned now, free tools) while you take a screenshot and see where it's being written to, if at all.

Does the debug.txt or log whatever show anything about screenshots?

Going to download the Filemon. See if I can figure this out.

I can't even find debug.txt. I'm not totally new to pcs, but I'm also not the best. So who knows if I am looking for it wrong.

Thanks again for the help/input.
