printing problem

wyatttracts · 09-05-2002, 09:02 PM

Hey Guys,
Every time I try to print something my game/screen freezes up on me. The only way out is to "ctrl+alt+del"

Once it stops the game I can print, but I can not restart the game unless I reboot the entire computer.

I have the 4.1 version

I have a Lexmark x73 printer

I am running in windows xp

Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to reset something?
Please Help.

Thanks!!!!

Use the "print to text" file then minimize the game and print from that. I don't have XP so don't know if it is an XP specific problem.

It probably just says "text", not 'print to text'. Use the output to text file option at any rate (whatever it is called) and then open the text file in notepad and print it. The text files you output are always saved in the OOTP4 root directory, so name the file something you recognize.

Make sure that if you are going to minimize the screen, you are using the windowed option. Windows XP seems to have a problem with min and maxing the game with the game is in full screen mode.
