Hi!
Why do I get black picture after I have pressed PrtSc button? Of course
it shouldn't be black and it happens only when the screen is on full
screen mode (for an example videos, games etc.). It also doesn't matters
if I am using just PrtSc or Alt + PrtSc - the result is the same.
It looks like this ---> [url]http://img525.imageshack.us/i/blackba.jpg/[/url]
(and, no, I didn't painted it black).

I may not answer your question regarding GRAPHICS< but here's a useful thing
to know:

Under any version of Windows, PrintScreen copies/creates a bitmap snapshot
of the desktop to the clipboard and Alt-Print Screen copies the active
window.
There's a difference.
If you are in Full Screen Dos Prompt (or Command Prompt), not windowed mode,
then Print Screen makes a copy of the text buffer in ASCII text format into
the clipboard. So, if I just pop into a Dos Prompt on my Win98 machine and
make sure it's in Full Screen and hit PrintScreen, then pasting the
clipboard into this comment text box brings the following ASCII text:

If you're doing a snapshot of a videogame or some media in fullscreen-mode,
then something is going on with videomemory... maybe some can clarify this,
but the above you need to know.

This is Stan Starinski by the way, sorry the people started using my name so
had to change
