Print Screen of an older program

I would like to do a print screen of some older programs like Quake
and Wolfenstein.

Print screen doesn't work right, even from the diagnostic mode.

Any way to do it?

Thanks.

Try the FRAPS program ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraps

"Screenshots are not watermarked in the free version
but can only be taken in the BMP format."

I tested FRAPS a while back, and it didn't get along
well with my antivirus software. In fact, the machine
froze, due to FRAPS and the AV software, getting into a
fight. I haven't tested it since.

HTH,
Paul

Print Screen can't work as it used to in the DOS systems. You need to
paste the screen capture into some document like Word, Excel or some
photo editors to make them printable.

1) Use Print Screen key;
2) Open Word
3) Paste the clipboard item by using Ctrl+V (Control key + V key
simultaneously)
4) Now print the word document.

Works well, and you can select which part of the screen you want.
(I have a shortcut to it on the WinXP quick launch bar)

Irfanview (irfanview.com) will also do screen captures, plus simple+
editing.

I don't use anti-virus, so I will give FRAPS a shot.

Doesn't work.

I forgot to mention in my post, but I am looking for a freeware
solution as well.

I think what the OP means (I reckon he must know how the Window's clipboard
works with the [PrntScr] key) is that his old program won't do screen
capture (PrntScr) when it runs in full-screen mode (though, I may be
wrong).

You could try the DOS utility; CAPTURE.COM that provides DOS with a
functioning [PrntScr] key (i.e. Pressing [PrnScr] copies current screen to
the copy-buffer ready to paste into a program such as mspaint or similar ).
It came included with Microsoft's first incarnation of the WORD
word-processor program for DOS.

Another idea you can try ; you can also start your DOS game, program or
utility, from within the DOSBox shell program - a DOS emulator for versions
of Windows (where no real-DOS exists). Your DOS application will run in
"Windowed-mode" and the normal functionality [PrnScr] should work.

Download Microsoft WORD for DOS which includes the CAPTURE.COM utility.

Another "share-ware" (free-to-try) program along the same lines ;

....And you can obtain DOSBox from ;
