    What OS are you using?
    Have you tried different settings with the colors?

    XP:
    (Rightclick desktop, properties, go to "monitor" section where you change the resoulution and all that, change the color there to the lowest. Also change the resolution to whatever seems to fit CnC best, the lowest I would say.)

    Then find the CnC .exe file and rightclick on it. Choose properties and go to the compatibility flap. Change the colors there (not necessary, but set to 256 if else fails) and set it to run as Windows 95..

    Also when using the PrtSc button, make sure that there is nothing on the desktop. If you have anything up, minimize it and then run CnC.

    I know SC gets some wierd colors if there's something open on the desktop sometimes..

    Hope this helps!

    You do the same thing, exept in Vista you have to:

    Rightclick on desktop > Last option > Window pops up, last option again > Change the resolution and the colors.

    The compability thing for Vista is the same..

    so i went to display options and changed colors to medium 16 bit (the lowest) then went to CC.exe set to 256 colors and run as windows 95, closed everything on the desktop
    but its still a black screenshot everytime, though
    is it different for vista x86?
