Or your screenshots folder has the max amount - 1000.

If that's true, it should take screen-shots but always say: 'Screen-shot taken - 999.' The last screenshot will replace the ones before it, so no that doesn't have relation to this.
Follow what Rays told you and you'll find a solution

Try deleting your file "screenshots" and making a new one in the SAMP file directed in the Gta San Andreas file. That's what I did once when I had the same problem as you.

What RazeeX probably meant was; delete your "screens" folder (Located in: 'My documents > GTA San Andreas User Files > SAMP > Screens) /-/ Then create a new folder in that same SAMP folder- and name it 'screens' -
Those two links I posted above has loads of solutions, NONE didn't work?

Dont delete them just copy all your screens and put them in another file. You will regret it in a few years that you deleted your screen shots

Possible reasons:
- Your screenshot folder is full. The max. limit is 999 and you most likely used them all.
- Your IG resolution doesn't match with that of your monitor.
Possible solutions:
- Delete/Rename the screenshot folder(i.e My Documents>GTA San Andreas User Files> SA-MP>screens) and make a new folder called "screens" without the apostrophes.
- Change your IG res. to match that of your monitor's by pressing the "ESC" button while IG and selecting "Options" followed by "Video Settings" followed by "Advanced settings".
If none of the above solutions work, then delete the "gta_sa.set" file from your "GTA San Andreas User Files" folder which is located in "My Documents" and run SA-MP as administrator which can be done by right clicking the executable and selecting the option "Run as Administrator" from the drop-down menu.
