Can't take screenshots or gallery photos on SAMP

[Dutchy]

I'm having this problem for a few weeks now, it seems whenever I press F8, the screenshots don't appear anywhere on my computer. Same goes for taking pictures with a camera.
Anyone once had the same problem?

Possible reasons:
The limit of screenshots for SA:MP is 1000, so if you have that many you will need to delete them or move them to a separate folder.

As for the camera not taking photos, make sure it is set to save photos to the gallery in the GTA:SA options. These will save in a different folder to the normal SA:MP screenshots.

A while ago SA:MP screenshots began getting saved to these directories, instead of the actual GTA San Andreas folder:
C:\...\Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files\SAMP
C:\...\Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files\Gallery


That is all I can think of that would be preventing screenshots being saved.

I have 0 pictures saved. I have the gallery saving on. And I already knew where the pictures where send. So strange Thanks for the help though!

Dutchy, do you see the notification msg. after you press f8 ?
and since when is the problem started.. eg: after you installed some mod., skin ?

I once had a problem where my pics were not clear and distorted and cant use to see anything in the pic later when i updated the my graphics driver everything was solved..

Are you running the game as administrator?
That caused the problem for me once.... the notification was being received but nothing was saving.

Yes, I do see it, the screen also freezes for a split second when I press F8. Although it doesn't freeze when I take pictures with a camera, but the gallery saving is on.

Hmm, let me try that.


EDIT: I've found out what the problem was. For some reason it didn't save in 'Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files\SAMP\screens' but in 'GTA San Andreas\data\SAMP\Screens' which is in the directory ...
Still, the gallery photos don't save. But that isn't a problem, I have camhack.

Thanks everyone for your help!
