help with screenshots...?

[ShawDAMAN]

Hi!

I almost always play FFVTR and when I attempt to take screenshots by pressing the print screen key, when I paste them into an image editor, they are nothing but black. I've tried 3rd party screenshot software, no difference. Anyone else have this problem? The prt scr key method works fine in regular freedom force, by the way.  thanks!

Try hitting Alt+PrntScrn (at the same time). This works for me.

  so simple...

that did it. thanks a lot.

No problem. Glad to hear it solved the problem.

Sorry to bring this up again, but.... strangely........... it only worked once!   

Haha. I thought 'eureka' the second or third time I tried alt+prt scrn when it worked but now I'm trying it over and over again and getting nothing but big black 'captures.'  very strange........ so I must ask for someones assistance once more!


EDIT I finally figured out a fix. I found out a way to force the program to run in a window which solves the problem (as does reducing the color to 16 bit.) Crazy. Thanks again.

This same thing here. I'm on an HP laptop w/ Wx64 set on an ATI card. Nothing but a black box when I use the fn+prt sc function, as well as with any external third party screen capture utility.
