| Re: Screenshots constantly saving--how do I stop this feature? | Alexander | 12/4/08 12:18 PM | I've read a similar report in the german help group.

| Re: Screenshots constantly saving--how do I stop this feature? | Boucher.Joe | 12/6/08 10:21 AM | I had the same problem. Annoying as all hell and I was going to have to try and downgrade to Picasa 2. It turned out that I indeed had a sticky PrintScreen key. I was able to disable the key using KeyTweak (http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/) and |

| Re: Screenshots constantly saving--how do I stop this feature? | nyctreeman | 12/8/08 5:36 AM | somethingintheway Did that kill it or just stop it the one time? I mean if you do another screen capture, does the folder come back and/or does Picasa still make the screen capture? Just curious |

| Re: Screenshots constantly saving--how do I stop this feature? | rmav | 2/10/09 8:28 AM | Hi, "Removing from Picasa" does not seem to eliminate the problem, at least on my system. It still saves screenshots- the only difference is that you don't see it happening. |

| Re: Screenshots constantly saving--how do I stop this feature? | UoGPJF | 3/13/09 12:39 PM | Yes that stops Picasa from saving the screenshots, but the original poster complained of "constant" Picasa notifications of screenshot saved.
