First of all, what you are trying to do is called making "
screenshots (German Wiki link)". Making images of whatever is on your screen at that very moment. And one way or another save to a file. A "
screensaver (German Wiki link)" is commonly known as a small program that creates interesting effects on your screen (animations, slideshows of personal pictures) when your computer is not doing anything for a while.
Second, what Windows version are you using? It may help in identifying the cause. As since Vista, Windows 7 and 8 Windows doesn't like it when programs create files inside the "Program Files" folderstructure on the C-drive. This happens when you are creating a screenshot. Windows probably ignored your attempt. Or denied it because you weren't able to respond to it by entering a administrator password. As it was hidden in the background because the game was full screen. With Windows XP you will not be prevented making files in the Program Files folder structure. Also, if you did not install the game inside C:\Program Files\SilenthunterIII, but in something like c:\games\SilenthunterIII, then you would have avoided this problem also. It should eventually create .bmp files in the base folder, with a timestamp in the filename like this:
