How to Fix Broken Screenshots in Leopard

WOOT! I can now take screenshots in Leopard, thanks to this fix! Here’s what to do if your screenshot thinger is broken:

  • Open Terminal.app (it’s in Applications/Utilities)
  • Type this:
    open ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
  • When the window pops up, open root and find AppleDisplayFactor (it should be the second one)
  • Select this, and press the Delete button
  • Save, Quit
  • You can quit Terminal.app as well

Now try taking a screenshot, and it should appear on your desktop like it used to!
Thanks a ton to Shaahin for helping me figure this out!
