| You could be right Greyfuss . You probably are actually . Good call !!
SuperEdy , I know what a screen shot is .
Direct Draw was a Microsoft development, that has long since been abandoned, unfortunately . Not sure why . The conflicts with Direct Draw , are , along with some os conflicts, a largely gpu issue . Again , if vpc works for you, awesome ! What I was attempting to convey, is there are other ways to do screen capture , besides what has already been mentioned.My experiences with Direct Draw have been favorable, regardless of the gpu I've used . | |

| What I'm saying is that I tried a lot of screen-capture programs without success, if you managed to get a screenshot of a palettized game I would be glad to know the name of the program Many games used a 32 bit depth or other graphic library that are easily captured I think Microsoft was right to abandon DirectDraw. Modern gpu are optimized to display textures in 3d, you can use direct3D or OpenGL to display 2d graphics faster just using an orthogonal matrix and you can take advantage of gpu bilinear filtering. Besides you can draw several pictures belonging to the same texture with a single rendering call, with DirectDraw you had to BitBlit every picture, particle systems and bitmap fonts required a lot of cpu work | |

| I use an xp laptop and most old windows games run fine with compatibility mode. I'm not using a virtual machine, and setting that up just for some captures would be overdoing it. I checked directx sdk, but that's an almost 600 mb download... The pictureviewers and screencapture software I tried so far only give a black screen, so maybe I should search around a bit more for those. The screen I posted (captured with the printscreen key) is not from Agon. | |

Excellent HandsFree...I would have never guessed that the screens were from Sentinel. I had forgotten about those areas of the game. | |

| Correct. That end puzzle would have been the best AG-puzzle ever, if only wasn't completely impossible to solve without help (for me anyway). | |

| I agree, it was very good indeed, it took me two hours to solve, analyzing all the collected data to find the solution was a lot of fun Too bad most recent adventures don't even try to have some challenging puzzles | |
