Taking Screenshots

Yeah, it's easy to take a screenshot, for those that know how (On windows there's a Prnt Scrn button on the keyboard somewhere, for Macs there's a keyboard shortcut.) but sometimes you'll notice that when you paste this screenshot into something like MSPaint it just becomes a black square or a moving video. Not a screenshot at all :(. That's probably because you're using Window's Media Player, Realplayer, or Winamp.

Thanks internet, for the solution (Eventually..)


Windows Media Player - Disable Video Acceleration from the Performance tab. Restart program/video

Realplayer - Disable Video Overlay, under Video Card Compatibility (a slider or a checkbox, depending on what version you have) under Hardware under Preferences. Restart program

Winamp (..3?) - Disable Video Overlay in Preferences, under Options. Restart program
