Hi all,
I have developed a problem with taking screenshots.I have to go to windows mode to take one.If I try in full screen mode I just get a black screen.I have tried various screen shot programs all with the same result.
I am using 32bit Vista Ultimate and an 8800GTX graphics card.

Any ideas.
Thanks,

Hi, that happended to me too with my 8800GTS. It did work before so I think it is caused by the new videocard drivers.
 
Same thing happened to me when I ran the latest Nvidia drivers on my 7800 GS. I also had some games that gave me a d3d error and I couldnt run them anymore. Once I reverted back to the previous driver, everfything worked fine as before.
 
Did you try using Ctlr+ Prt Scrn ? Then use Microsoft Paint, open paste, then save as a JPEG. It seems that this works every time, well at least for me.
 
Hi all,
I have tried Grabclipsave which had always worked for me and Snapshooter 2007 and Screenshot Capture all with the same result.
