I was just trying take a remote screenshot and got a funky error.

Cannot create file "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp;C:\Program Files\PuTTY\REMOTESCREEN.exe". The file name, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect


I recently setup putty on my machine with pageant so it's actively monitoring when to use my key. I'm not sure how this relates to remote screenshot, though. Are they running on the same port or something? I also added that 'C:\Program Files\PuTTY\' to my path environment variable but I have not removed it and still get the error above.

Any troubleshooting ideas?

Your request led me to the problem. It seems to have been added to my TEMP environment variable, too. I removed it but the problem persists.

I suppose I'll have to log off and back on for the change to take effect.

Thanks for your help.

could you post the output on your machine of the command "set" (in a command prompt)
