Never had this problem with 98.
Then again, 98 shell of command.com was x2 than the patheticness of winxp.
Eitherway, the situation is simply this : I can't printscreen DOS games.
Most of them, if you recall, ran under DOS4GW (the DOS answer for DX).
For an example : privateer 2.
I go in the game, run around, whatever, even enter a static screen.
If I press printscreen, I get nothing to the clip board.
If I try to use (and I tried like 20 of them) screencapture programs, I get a blank white or black screens.
Googled for the past five hours for a solution.
The dumb thing simply refuse to capture.
Please-Help!
Damn microsoft. |

Give DosBox a try. Works very well with most old DOS games, and can setup a screenshot command pretty easily. |

Yeah, so I heard.
I just dislike using emulators so I was hoping to avoid it.
Oh well, guess I'm cornered. |

Well, if you're running a DOS program under any version of NT, you're running it in an emulator whether apparent or not. _________________ This help is informational only.
