Hi, hitting the Printscreen key works most of the time when capturing game screenshots to Paste into the Paint program, but sometimes all that pastes in is a black square, no picture.
Any suggestions? thanks

hi..
Can u explain a little ... Blank image or many small black squares in the picture?

Just a big black blank filling the whole screen, as if the capture hasn't captured anything

Try holding ALT key with print Screen or Shift key.

Okay thanks everybody, I asked the question on behalf of a mate of mine and i've been passing your replies on to him, but he says he's now solved it with FRAPS, so this thread is now finished..

Okay great... You can share the solution here as well...
Thanks

I asked my mate to explain how he did it and he replied-
"I downloaded fraps and used that to take my screenshots. Simple"
