Printscreens/screenshots issues - fixed

Hello, everyone!

I had an issue with World of Warcraft for a while and I just figured out how to fix it. I would like to share with you, maybe this can help.

What happened: When I tried to take an screenshot ingame using the "PrintScreen" button, the game even did show the message "Screen Captured", but actuallly didn't save the image inside the "Screenshots" folder.

Step by step to fix it:

1. First of all, if your game is inside the folder "Program Files" (C:Program FilesWorld of Warcraft), just move it right to "C:", like this: "C:World of Warcraft".

2. Click with the right button on the "World of Warcraft" folder, unmark the option "Only reading", apply and close the window. By doing this, the game (and all folders and applications inside of it) can make actions and create files in your computer. By doing this, you give it authorization to create files (yes, including inside the "Screenshot" folder).

2.1. If your "World of Warcraft" folder still keep the "Only reading" option marked, you can "force" it by using this code inside the CMD Prompt. To do this, press the "Windows" key, write "cmd", open it and paste the following command:

Code:

---

attrib -r +s "C:World of Warcraft" /S /D

---

3. Now you must fix the folder permissions:

3.1. Right click on the folder "World of Warcraft";
3.2. Go to Properties → Security → Advanced;
3.3. Click “Change” (next to the owner field);
3.4. Type your Windows username (or Administrators);
3.5. Check “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects”, or something like that, according to your Windows version;
3.6. Click OK and apply.
3.7. Again, right click on the folder "World of Warcraft;
3.8. Go to Properties → Security, click Edit;
3.9. Select your user account and check “Full control” (you can also give full control to another users, but be careful);
3.10. Click Apply → Ok.

Then it should work properly!

I hope it works and help you guys, just like helped me! See ya! ^^
