Not sure where to post this, but...
Trying to take screenshots in Master of Orion 2. Using the Printscreen keyboard button + irfanview (or MS word, same muck). I get/capture 'something', but colors are all wrong/black/invisible... hard to actually tell what is in the picture. But in Ravenloft:StoneProphet this works just fine, as does MtG:Planeswalker and lots of others. There are other games where this 'mess' also happens. Any free programs that will help ? Or, even commercial ones ? I could of course use a digital camera(!), but.... '' I've seen screenshots of it, so I know it should be possible, but I'm lost atm... Anyone have any idea ? I'm using both Win98FE/SE and XP SP1. Or would I have to boot into a genuine DOS 6.22 installation, and install the games there (?) (never used DOSbox.... yet.... 'LOL' ) |

Moved to Technical stuff.
I can't really help you here, but I think you should try to find special programs which capture what you see on the screen as an independent image. ScreenThief might be one of those. |

Screen Thief worked perfectly under DOS, I used it to take screenshots from Space Hulk.
Win98 (any) has the option to reboot into DOS... that will suffice in most cases. DosBox has a built-in screenshot tool. |
