@ pisces
Yes, You are right. I'm sorry I took the wrong word. But I ment Screen Shot.

I'm using Windows 7 and I installed the Game in C:/Programme (86)/Ubisoft...

But I will try this FRAPS Programm. maybe it will work. But anyway, thanks for all the info.

When you installed GWX, you first made a copy of your original SH3 install, then installed GWX onto that copy. This copy is in a different directory than is your original SH3 install. For example, my original install of SH3 is in c:/ProgrmFiles(X86)/Ubisoft/ but my SH3 copy with GWX version is in c:/games/SH3+GWX/

Any GWX screenshots you took are saved in the same directory where you installed SH3 with GWX. For me, that would be in c:/Games/SH3+GWX/SilentHunterIII.

Screenshots you took in SH3 without GWX are in the same directory where you installed SH3 (for me, that's c:/ProgramFiles(X86)/Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII).

I use a 24 inch widescreen monitor and have the same problem with a black screen in the copy if I try to use PRINTSCREEN and then paste into MSPaint. For some reason, Win7 has trouble with that.

ADDENDUM: I am NOT using any widescreen mods. I let my video card scale the image to fullscreen aspect (1920 x 1200).

Another issue might be the use of the Widescreen mod. But since nobody mentioned using this mod sofar I didn't bring it up. Anyway, I let my graphics chip (NVidia 9600M GT) scale the 1024x768 to full screen maintaining aspectratio. Therefore I don't have further experience with that mod. I only heard screenshots may be a problem with it.

BTW, Fraps is commonly used to make movies, instead of single screenshots. I suppose it is possible to single out frames from a movie that is captured with FRAPS. And save it to a file, but I suspect that is quite a hassle.
