Sorry if these two questions have come up before and already been answered but i couldn't find them within the first 3 pages of this forum so i guessed they were never bought up here.

So my problem is that i can't minimize it, does anyone know how i could?

My second problem is taking screenshots of the game, i binded 'levelshot' to a key but everytime i take a screenshot it just over writes the first screenshot. But thats not the only problem, i went to look at the screenshot and it was very small.. i'm sure i am using a much larger resoloution in the game then what the screenshort churned out. Maybe my best bet would be to use a 3rd party screenshot caputer? But i'm too lazy to find a right one.

Any help would be appreciated guys.

Try 'bind X screenshot' instead of level shot. There's a utility either in the files section or on jk3files.com that lets you minimize, I believe.
