Maybe your Oblivion game folder ? Or maybe not ? (since you're using Windows 7)

This troubled me for a while aswell, but if your using print screen, it basically copys the picture, so you need to paste it into paint and thensave as a jpeg.

Use fraps

Type tfc in the console to free the camera up and type tm to get rid of the hud.

Are you sure? When I use print screen, it creates a bitmap of the shot and plunks it into my Fallout 3 folder.

It depends on the game - some games (such as Oblivion) have PrntScr mapped to a unction which automatically saves a screenie in the Oblivion folder.

It does have to be enabled in the .ini though I think, and I'm not sure what it does if you try it when its not. Presumably just dumps the contents of the screen to the clipboard as normal.
