So, I'm trying to do a screen capture.
Wait, don't reply yet!
The program I'm running is an old-school program (possibly an old DOS based game, possibly something that's an emulator for an old system-- it won't actually tell me, it's just an .exe file). And it is apparently communicating on a lower level than the OS in order to draw the screen.
My first attempt was with the normal "Print Screen" button, but that did nothing-- it actually didn't capture anything at all on the clipboard.
Then I tried downloading a couple free screen capture programs. They each give me the same result-- a black screen with a mouse pointer, which is NOT what was being displayed at the time of capture.
Does anyone know of a screen capture program that can handle something like this? Something that probably communicates with the video card device drivers rather than the OS (I'm assuming that's the issue)?
