hi

i'm running XP and i need to get some screen shots of a dos program that will only run in full screen mode. I have tried using 'printscreen' , 'ctrl + print screen' , 'alt + print screen' but none capture the window.

is there a way to capture a full screen dos window in XP?


thanks for all help

In a similar vein, I've seen comments that DosBox works for the purpose:
