Graven Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Got Vista or 7? Disable Aero. Right-click IV icon & select properties. In compatibility tab ´disable Desktop Composition´. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyperX88 Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 so it has something to do with Windows 7 or Vitsa right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston_1988 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 so it has something to do with Windows 7 or Vitsa right? Possibly, but its more likely something to do with your graphics driver or direct x drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahi Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I had the same problem after I installed Windows 7 64bit, and it's caused by the Aero theme. Once I disabled it, and enabled classic Windows style (desktop/properties/appearance -> select classic Windows style) the screenshots weren't black anymore..

Guys, i've HAD this problem once, when i tried to screenshot my graphic settings tab for a friend, when i did everything was black. AND That was on XP, and im on XP now and the problem isnt there anymore. Just a question, what could cause it on XP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APNBUSTER Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I have Windows 8.1. What can I do? Because this one ain't have that option (Aero switcher). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protossevolution Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Same problem here. I want to make some cool print screens, I have a mod ready to be released, but I will not release without some pictures. Frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osho Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Then try a software like Fraps that comes with a screen capture function. Simple, easy fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I totally forgot that I had FRAPS installed here, and that FRAPS is useful for both Screenshots and Movies, not only Movies. Thanks for remind me!
