Just to let you know, I did do a search to try to find a solution to my problem, but all I found was for DVDs. I have Windows ME and I'm streaming a file with Windows Media Player. When I press the print screen button and paste it into PSP 8 I get black where the video should be. I tried the same thing only with the full screen view and all I got was a big black box. Does anybody know how to take screen caps in Windows Media Player?

This is for a Civics prodject due tomorrow. *punches self* I have a back up plan if this won't work.

Thank you!

Did you try disabling hardware acceleration?

I think I've read that somewhere before...

THANK YOU! YEAH! It worked! :bow: Now, I'll have to remember that.

Glad it worked. If you don't want to do that all the time, though, you could also use fraps (http://www.fraps.com/) (just remembered the name, otherwise I would've added it in my other post).
