: Videos seem to have real trouble in being screencapped. I assume you used
: print screen along with Windows Media Player, close Windows Media Player,
: and pasted it into Paint. What shows up in Paint will be the same thing on
: teh Windows Media screen at teh time, so if you clsoe it, it'll be a black
: box. The oinly way I've found around this is to put the video in some
: video editing software and use the software to take a snapshot.
Temporarily disable Hardware Acceleration for your display adapter. I haven't tried it in awhile, but I recall that usually doing the trick. I think WMP has an option somewhere relating to it, and the other will be under Display Properties/Settings/Advanced/Troubleshoot.
