I have windows 7 build 7600 and basically I when I hit the print screen button in a game, then go to mspaint, it only pastes a black screen. I can print other screens fine, but in game screens no. Any suggestions?

I don't think it's the nvidia drivers. I've had the same problem with my 8800GT and now also with my ATI 4890XT.

I think its because of DirectX.

Use fraps instead, it works perfectly.

Or maybe This.

tried the tpu capture, same thing.

I read somewhere else that it's because so dx as well. But it worked fine for me in Vista x64
