Black screenshots

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if this is the right section for this question, please forgive me if its the wrong section.

I've got a problem with making screenshots of arma 2; i get a black screen when i try to paste a screenshot in paint (after pressing the "print screen" button ingame).

After reading through various search results on the forum i installed the latest drivers from Nvidia. Unfortunately the problem still exists.

Making screenshots with xfire doesnt work either.

OS: Windows Vista
Game: Steam version of ArmA 2 (version 1.04)
CPU: intel core i7 920
GPU: NVIDIA Geforce GTX260
Ram: 6gb
driver version: 191.07 (191.07_desktop_win7_winvista_64bit_international_whql)

Does anyone know if i am missing certain codecs, should I use a different method to capture screens or is there a other solution to this problem?

With kind regards,

I didn't try fraps before, but it does work for screenshots. Thanks for the tip ProfTournesol.

Making screenshots by hand still doesn't work though, is this a known issue?

It's a common issue in many games, not just ArmA II. I don't know what causes it, and I don't think anyone does. Use Fraps to fix it, works perfectly.
