Semi-OT: Can't get decent screenshot

I've been wanting to change my avatar lately (guess why), plus the addition of the new "screenshot forum" at D2.net makes posting a little more fun.

However, I've been trying screenshots from my laptop lately, and they're not coming out w/ the correct colors. Everything's too dark, and you can't decipher what you're seeing. I assume it's a video card thing, but I'm not too technically proficient. I know something's wrong with my computer 'cause sometimes I have to reinstall my card in order to play, but I always thought that ATMA was causing it somehow.

My only idea is to change my video setting to Direct3D and see what happens. Anyone with a better idea?

Do you use the d2 screenshot button, or print screen?

on my laptop i have to be in direct3 mode to take a screen shot with printscreen

Don't use paint to paste your screen shots. Go to your Diablo II folder where your screen shots are saved.

At least you should try it.

Silly me. Completely forgot that D2 had its own capture screen key. I'll try again! :lol:

Thanks for making me feel totally foolish
