    Hello, I have been facing a problem with taking pics and printscreen
    pics.

    Problem 1:
    I know how to do printscreen trick on laptop.
    My nick name makes sence.
    I have like all other here an HDX16t laptop.
    I want to take screens when playing Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box
    with the Prinscreen.
    After pressed Fn+PrintScrn, alt+tabbed the game, opened MS Paint
    and pasted.
    All what MS Paint gives, is a black screen.
    No ingame screen, only a fully black screen.

    Problem 2
    Fraps is the most used benchmarking program.
    So I changed my mind to install the Fraps.
    I registred it and tried to use it.
    When driving ingame, I want to press "Take screen" button.
    After that, the game will crash immediatley.
    No errors or msg with "Burnout has been stopped working"
    Only closed.
    I couldn't save screens.
    Could anyone tell me how to fix it or help me?

    My laptop specs are with the same when no adding optional stuff.

    P8400 2.26GHz 3MB L2
    9600M GT 512MB DDR2
    Windows Vista Home Premium 64Bit
    4GB RAM
    320GB

    Additional info
    The GPU drivers are 179.48.
    I never use the modded drivers because
    they causes for age loading Vista loadingbar on startup.


    Im not very happy with this product.
    I did mistake.
    1920x1080 is way too big and heavy for games.
    People with laptops with 1280x800, P7520 2.0GHz, 9600M GT
    Vista x32 have better FPS on games than
    my laptop specs.
    While my game setting is exactley same on their laptops.
    Is it because the 1920x1080 resolution?
    Or something wrong with the product itself?
