i have a friend who has had to recently write a simple game in c++. he needs to take a screenshot of it in action.
however the print screen and alt+print screen don't work - he does not have anything on the clipboard to paste in paint.
any idea how a screenshot can be taken of this window?
What's wrong with a good old digital camera? It's not the solution you wanted, but it is an alternative.

Try this program... CapSnapper at http://www.cerious.com It's shareware but I have had great success with it.
@NC: unfortunately my friend has not a camera, and i have not the time for exams loom in the distance 
@iiswiis: thanks for the suggestion, will try it out
Instead of downloading 3rd party programs, you can press this key which should be on you keyboard.
"prt scr"
It might also say "prt scr/sysrq"
It might be located next to the "F12" key somewhere.
This takes a picture of your whole screen and copies it to your clipboard.
Good luck

Try and read his post a bit more thoroughly 
. Also, you don't need to write your posts with HTML! No

That must be a DirectX driven game. With overlay. HyperCam, Fraps, HyperSnap .... I can't remember, just google for a screenshooting software
@Rimmer: lol, it's (was) just a simple C++ program. Anyway he's managed to somehow get the screenshot, though its a colossal waste of black ink...
