    Re: screenshots with windows 7?

    No idea. I would recommend posting feedback to report to the problem. If PrtSrc isn't behaving as expected on all configurations, then obviously that is an issue Microsoft needs to look into for the Retail release.

    I've not tried it myself but doesn't Fraps do this kind of thing in games?

    Re: screenshots with windows 7?

    Print Screen never worked reliably with games that don't handle it. Fraps is a good external application to do it, as Salazaar says.

    Re: screenshots with windows 7?

    Just to clarify, does this issue only occur when you're in a game, or does it occur when you're in a normal enviroment (Office, Windows Live Messenger, Web Browser, etc)?

    Re: screenshots with windows 7?

    Have you tried the new snipping tool? Its in Start Menu > Accesories. Not tried it here, but not had any problems using printscreen, unless i have an OpenGL app running.
