Here's one way, the easy, lazy way...

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>

_ScreenCapture_Capture(@DesktopDir & "\problem" & "_" & @MON & @MDAY & @YEAR & ".jpg")

Check the time / data functions form the help reference. _Now() / _NowCalc() / _NowCalcDate()

What I gave you was for demonstration purposes, even though it works. You need to read and understand what I did then tweak it to your liking.

There are more macros you can use in addition to the three I already used (@MON, @MDAY, @YEAR), they are @HOUR, @MIN, @SEC. We'll let you figure out how to use them...

If you're trying to serialize them like you just described (by using consecutive numbers rather than the current time), there's a little more code involved. I suggest you make the attempt yourself first then post what you need help with.

You may want to have a variable in your script to use as a counter that increases by one every time you take a screenshot.

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>
Dim $count

$count = 0          ;initialize to zero
_ScreenCapture_Capture(@DesktopDir & "\problem" & $count ".jpg")    ;capture screen and append the value of $count to create problem0.jpg
$count += 1       ;increase count by 1, so now it equals 1. Next screenshot will be problem1.jpg

Combine the Date and Time together.

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>

_ScreenCapture_Capture(@DesktopDir & "\problem" & "_" & @MON & @MDAY & @YEAR & '_' & @HOUR & @MIN & @sec & ".jpg")

Ummm...maybe just use Danny's example. Yes.

Just curious, how often do you plan on taking a screen shot using this script?

_ScreenCapture_Capture(@DesktopDir & "\problem" & $count & ".jpg")

[Danny35d]

Try it:

#include <File.au3>
#include <ScreenCapture.au3>

$FilePath = @DesktopDir
$FileName = 'Problem'
$FileList = _FileListToArray($FilePath, $FileName & '*.jpg', 1)

If Not IsArray($FileList) Then
    $FileName &= '1.jpg'
Else
    $FileName &= $FileList[0] + 1 & '.jpg'
EndIf

_ScreenCapture_Capture($FilePath & "\" & $FileName)
