I just bought a brand new laptop. Its running a geforce8400 video card, an my operation system is vista ( lord save me ) after deciding to look up a few screen shots i took a few days ago i realised that all the pictures were just black. All of them were the same. I was wondering if anyone might have some information on why my computer is acting this way. Thanks for any help you can give me.

2 step fix for this Vista issue:

1. Run MxO fullscreen
2. Turn off Antialiasing

A few questions first.

Are you taking them .jpg or .bmp?
Are you using the ingame, or an out of game program to take them?
Are you running windowed?  My friend just installed the game and his screenshots were black on vista when he ran windowed.

its taking them in jepg

im using the standard f12 to take them, i've also tried using print screen an it does the same thing.

also im running it full screen.
