    If you're determined to use Steam Overlay, try disabling Origin in Game.  You won't be able to use the Shift+F1 to join friends games, but I think you still can by minimizing and using Origin Friends list there.

    I'd suggest getting a different program to take screenshots.

    Fraps, make sure to disable it's overlay.  It doesn't play nice with Origin In Game either.

    I seem to recall some program I used to put on people's computers to print their screen, printkey or something.  It had an option to save screenshots too.  Can't remember the name it's been many many moons.

    There should be plenty of small programs that can bind a key or keys to take a screenshot.  SnagIt, ActivePresenter, Jing, Shutter, PicPick, ScreenSnag.  I think SnagIt costs money but the rest are free.  One of them should be able to do it, not sure which one would be best though.

    I still use the ol' Alt+PrnScreen + Paint... but that wouldn't be so handy if you don't have 2 monitors or take a bunch of screenshots.

    Yess disabling Origin Overlay works!! thanks!!

    Fraps doesn't help me because I want to share screenshots inmediately in steam community (Pressing F12), with fraps that's not possible, that's why I want to use steam and no extra softwares.
