You would like to know how to take a picture?

Go to the options bar that appears at the bottom of the screen and click the camera. Otherwise use 'prtsc' and then open your image editor and paste. If your image editor doesn't like it, copy it in MSpaint and copy again from there.

If you need to take in game pictures, you can find wouanagaine Clip2Pic program on the LEX which is great for taking pictures, I use it all the time

Remember: If you haven't already got an account on the LEX you will need to set one up before you can download from the above link

An alternative to wouanagaine's clip2pic would be Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com) - a small, free and powerful Grafphics viewer. Press C, choose your options (without mouse cursor, name - I use date and time in American order - place to put them) and then start.

Another nice feature of Irfanview is its batch mode - rather useful if you need to convert a lot of pictures in the same way. ;)

I think you need to go to the graphics options menu, and change from Software Rendering to Hardware Rendering. I'm guessing your automata (cars, trains, planes) also showed up all colourful?

thanks but are there any other option

The spotty appearance of the automata and the number from starting UDI is caused by the advanced settings on your video card. You need to turn off the anti-aliasing and other advanced graphic features, or set them to application controlled. While many modern games can use these features, SimCity 4 simply cannot. It was never designed to make use of them. Setting the game to Software Rendering in the game options will not necessarily fix the problem.

The colored "sign posts" indicate that you are missing dependencies for the cantenary mods that you downloaded.

It also appears that the cantenary mods are not compatiable with the mod that places sidewalks and other props under the elevated rail tracks or with PEG's Pine trees.
