Winvice: Screen shot error

I just wanted to add screen shots to my uplaods, so I started wainvice (no PAl emulation), load the .d64-file and pressed ALT+C.. Thwn I get to save the screen shot but when I press Enter, I get the message:

"No driver selected or selected driver not supported"

Anyone knows what's going on?!

you have to "Select Driver" to tell Vice which format you want the pic to be saved: BMP, IFF, PCX, PNG. This may vary depending on the platform and Vice version/build.

And to be able to upload the image without any further converting you should select PNG.

I've always made my screen shots using the "PRT SC/SysRq" key on my keyboard. Then, I'd go into PAINT, hit CTRL+V, then saved it, only to edit it again in CS (for features like cropping).

Similiar here, just printscreen and then open the resulting .png from my desktop into gimp. (Or if i have the mouse in my hand i just tap the icon that links to gnome-screenshot ;) )

Why not simply hit ALT+C & save directly as PNG instead? Must be much faster & more convenient.

Alt-C doesn't catch the beautiful pal emulation.

All I do to get a screen dump (yes, that's really what it's called!) from WinVice is to press the "Print Screen/SysRq" key on my pee-cee, open up a graphics viewer (IrFanView is what I use most frequently), load any image into it, then press CTRL-V to past it over the image that was just loaded. From that point, I can crop, resize if necessary, and then "Save As" in any web-friendly format - .GIF works well for C=64 images for my purposes because of the limited color palette the C=64 has and there are absolutely no .JPG compression issues - though you can choose from any of a number of other image formats available.
