When i take screenshots on my pc that has windows vista all my screenshots end up like this.




But I have no problems taking screenshots on my laptop with windows XP.
Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone know how to fix it?

No idea. It's probably a Vista thing.

It works on my Vista computer, I can't see why it doesn't work.

You may have to end up using printsceen if there is no fix for it.


For once the mods did something right

Thats weird o_O

I cant come up with anything else, but it might be that RA2 dislikes yor Grapics card and thus preventing screenshots?

try not playing in fullscreen, and if you arent try playing in full screen. try putting detail to high low, or medium.


EDIT: I see you got it to work. good job.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.
