Viplay and Virtualdub both allow you to do frame captures.

Google them cause I'm lazy.

Something that works every now and then is to go into your display properties->advanced->trouble shoot tab and take your hardware acceleration slider down a knotch, which will force media players to write to your frame buffer rather than an overlay, which is where a screen shot comes from when you hit prt scr

As Blindy said, turn accerlation off before you print screen. No real reason to go out and get other software.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

Well I already got viplayer before that advice. But now I have another question. I perform a frame capture and I have no idea where to find the picture to open.

(Also note I have never done a frame capture before)

I just cheat and use VLC to dump out to DirectX and cap from there. Fairly quick and easy. Plus VLC supports all kinds of vid formats and exras like soft subs and whatnot.

Yes there is. Other software will automatically add jpeg compression to the screens for you and create the files. No need to go through paint.
