Change default 'screens' location?
Try running GW2.exe as an administrator (Right click, Run as administrator) and see if that helps.
I know that win8 has alot more security built in for applications writing to certain areas of your profile. and I think the screen capture function is part of that. However, running these apps as administrator will ignore 90% of these security details. So give that a try and let us know if that helps.
