    Ok, been looking everywhere and I can't seem to find a solution.

    This question is going back in time, for when people still played Diablo II (Gotta get geared up for III).

    I recently installed II in Win7, and first thing I encountered was some weird rainbow colors, which I got fixed by having my Resolution screen open. :confused:


    But now I can't get the game to take screenshots. Every time I do, I can't paste it into Paint, because the picture will be black/fuzzy/distorted very badly.

    I use Gadwin for my screenshots, but it does not take any when I am running the game.

    Supposedly Diablo II saves your screen shots in the directory, but I have yet to even come close to finding any.

    Does anyone know how to get it working? :(

    Use Fraps, it works in any games.

    D2 does save the screen shots in the C:\Program Files\Diablo II directory, just search for them.

    I did, for about 15 minutes. The directory itself isn't that big, it contains 2 folders and the rest files.

    There is none to be seen.

    Guess I will have to try FRAPS.
