   taking screenshots of an 8-bit game
  A while ago I made an 8-bit game, and it's fairly complete. I remembered I could took a screenshot back then, but now taking a screenshot doesn't work. All I got is blank screen, and occasionally "masks" of my sprites. I figured it's the 32-bit desktop that causes the trouble, and Windows XP can't switch to 8-bit desktop. The game runs at fullscreen. Is there a program that can let me take it?   
Fraps will let you take a video of the game, and you should be able to take a frame from that.Although, that's probably being a little bit silly...   ;  i would think you could run it in windowed mode and press ctrl+alt+prt scrand then paste it into your image editing program and cropout anything extra.and i think fraps only lets you take screenshots and video's when you're in a 3d accelerated app.   ;  well, my game uses DirectDraw, and I didn't programmed it to run in windowed mode. I'll try FRAPS.   ;  w00t it works. Thanks a lot!!!
