So I can take post-game screenshots, but I can't record with Camstudio or take screenshots with print screen during a game. I got my first pentakill yesterday as Karthus (No, not with Requiem, lol.), and had it both on Camstudio and print screen. I pasted the picture into GIMP, and got a picture of my desktop background.

I then went to Camstudio to review the clip, and I just got a 40 minute long video of my desktop background.

Any way to fix this?

I'm pretty stupid when it comes to computers. What is windows mode?

And a second question, on my laptop, a Dell Inspiron, I have to press the "Fn" key to press f11, f5 etc etc. If I don't press it, f7 is just mute, f8 lowers volume, f9 raises volume et cetera. Any way to reverse this so that not pressing Fn will control the F() keys, and pressing it will changes settings?

Thanks.

Go to options and click "windowed mode." It makes it so the game runs in a window, like your internet browser.
Thanks to GrandMasterD for my sig!

Uhm.. You don't need to go in windowed mode to take a screenshot of your screen >_> Not with the PrntScrn button, and not with, for instance, FRAPS.

1)Hit the PrntScrn button (perhaps with the 'Fn' button held in, if you have to (as it might appear))

2) Open a photo manipulation program (like Paint and Photoshop) that supports copy/pasting pictures in.

3) Click CTRL + V to paste the image.

4) Either save it, crop it, or screw it up with effects! :)

As for that Fn button annoying you; I'm not sure how you could fix that. But you could try and remap your keyboard :)

I know for a fact that there is a way to change your Fn key settings so it's set to do F1 etc. My brother did it. I don't know how and I don't live at home but I know there is a way to do it, so there's hope for you yet! If you haven't figured it out by the next time I see him I'll post it here.

If you are running Win7, this might be your issue and fix:

That link helped me, I used to always get black when I took a screenshot in-game :S

Use F12 to take a screenshot ingame, it makes a .tga file in your league of legends folder.

Thank you :D

This fixed the problem, I can't +Rep you for some reason right now, but I'll remember to once this site stops being laggy. (Anyone else having connection problems with the site today?)
