Ok, a more detailed way to make snaps Ordinary keyboards has the keys "print screen, scroll lock and pause" aligned. If u press the print screen it will actually make a snap of the current view... it works usually good with everything, including most of the games.
This snap is stored in a temporary memory. There are many ways to see this snap. U could either open the paint program from windows and press ctrl + v, so u will paste the image captured with print screen button or even using HyperSnap and pressing the same buttons (ctrl + v). This proceed shall work with most of the image editors u may have ( Corel Draw, Photoshop, Flash ).

hope it helps... it has been a long since I've used DB, but this should work

Nope, Print screen doesn't actually "Print" the screen. IT just takes a shot of the screen and stores it in the clipboard. Open up your favorite graphics program, press "Paste" and away you go. That's usually the best way to do it. However, you can't take multiple shots, if you do, they will be over written. To take multiple shots, add some code to your program that saves a bmp of the screen when you press a certain key.

If you want a video of the program, you will need to use a program like hypersnap. If that doesn't work: make sure you have the correct hardware and such, software settings are correct, etc. If that doesn't work, try asking the company that made hypersnap. Or get another program.

hmm I come too late, but I've got an advice
( an advice or advice or some advice ? I don't know, because in french it's countable, but in english I'm not sure ).

if you want to take a screenshot from your game, use the commande save image

and if you want to block the print screen key :


I'm following John, but I'm not john.
Lol, it is funnier in french

Hypersnap won't work with DB Standard|Enhanced|Professional, simple reason is it access's an area which people who are simply using DirectX uses ... however from my understanding DB requires these areas for its own use

Be able to confirm this when the DB SDK is released.

whats the NGEmu?
Hypersnap-Dx is a DirectX Buffer Screenshot|Movie program, i've not heard of its use anywhere really outside of games magazine competitions because you can't actually fake the hypersnap photos - if you try its is aparent immediately to whoever opens it in a registered version
