Maybe that works...?

Can't remember, but I tried so many things - tinkered with resolution, GPU settings, scaling and rescaling, turned off a ton of stuff in Win7 (Aero, desktop themes, anything that could be turned off really), ran everything in comp mode for different versions of the OS - nothing ever worked.
Occasionally I would be able to get a few screenshots - usually in "quieter" moments when there wasn't much going on - but eventually it would just freeze up again. Which made me wonder if it was a RAM issue, since taking even one shot in a crowded harbor or when there was a lot of fires, explosions, etc. going on after an attack usually resulted in an immediate crash. But I've got the 4GB patch for the game and 8GB of RAM on the system and it still happens. And I never had the problem at all when I was on XP 32-bit with no 4GB patch and <4 gigs system RAM, so it is a puzzlement.
I'll play with it some more when I get the new system set up and see what happens. I'll probably mess around a bit without the res fix just to see if I mind playing without it, since *not* using it would seem to be the simplest solution.
