Screen Shots Using Vista

[Blackcat]

Can anyone please tell me why when I try and take a screen shot using the Print Screen Button in Vista all I get is a totally black image?

Thanks in anticipation.

It is a interaction between video cards and Vista. Shock Force is not the only game affected. A lot of my stuff can't do a print screen.

Vista comes with a snipping tool (it should be in your Accessories) that does work (at least for me) and is better than print screen because you can select the area you want to capture. Alternatively, you can use the free version of FRAPs to due screenshots.

The snipping tool works great on the desktop, but can't get it to capture CMSF in-game. :confused:

MeatEtr,

I couldn't work out how to get the snipping tool to work in game either, so I went for the Fraps option.

Unfortunately the free version of Fraps is restricted to BMP files, which look horrible. So I forked out the $37. I have to say the full version is rather good.
