Can you not just use steam's screenshot capture? I think default is F12

No, no it's the same thing. The "Print screen" key should print whatever is shown on your screen. That's strange.

A screenshot is usually be made through the software (F12 in steam).

Silly me.

It doesn't matter, i don't make the difference between a screenshot and a print screen, how do you make screenshots? They're differents?

When i say "screenshot", i'm talking about "impr ecran syst" (in french), so the print screen^^

Why can't you alt tab out of fullscreened mode? On that note does alt tabbing out of Endless Space occasionally crash explorer.exe for anyone else?

Some crashes have been reported due to alt-tabbing

Same.

I've also learned to not alt-tab as some programs have code to catch that, etc. I've generally found that hitting Ctrl-Esc (pulls up the window menu) seems to do a better job of getting me out of a full screen game and back to the desktop.

The only thing I wish is that the game had an option to turn off sounds when it was not the focus (would cover being minimized, too).

Many programs handle alt-tabbing out of fullscreen very badly. It's best to just play in a large window if you want multitasking, and that goes true for many modern games. I do that whenever I have the opportunity in order to try to avoid stability problems. I have Endless Space running in a background window right now.
