Gadwin Printscreen Windows 7
Hello! I recently upgraded (I use the term loosely) to Windows 10 and got my graphics and smooth edges working (thankyouverymuch) but am having an issue getting screen caps with my capture programs. I play in full screen but when I am running my game and attempt a screen shot, all I get is my desktop. I have tried Gadwin print screen (verson 4.7 and the latest 5.4 which is supposedly Win8 compatible). I also tried Greenshot. I'm wondering if anyone has experience resolving this? I could probably use windowed mode and have tried that but the only way I am going to get a shot without capturing the background or the window itself is to capture it with the rectangle and I am far too spoiled and lazy to have to do that
TL;DR Has anyone found a program or way to capture full screen game shots that capture the game and not the desktop?

I'm always in windowed mode, and I just use printscreen when I'm testing. ALT-Printscreen captures just the active window. However when I'm playing I use SimCamera which is similiar to Gadwin and Fraps and have had no trouble with full screen captures. So I'm not sure why you're having a problem. Sorry.
Maybe someone else who takes screen prints in a more sophisticated way can help.

I'm having similar problems even in Win7. No matter what creen capture program I use, none will ever take fullscreen shots of TS2. Gadwin fails, Greenshot fails, and another one I tried two weeks ago (I forgot the name) failed as well. Three years ago, Gadwin would still work, if you switched off the Aero theme and some other function that I don't remember the English name of.
But that no longer works now. I might like to look at SimCamera, see if that performs...

@celebkiriedhel I hadn't thought about Fraps...and I hadn't heard of SimCamera. I can try those out and see.
I used to use an older version of Gadwin with Windows 7 so I had options for full screen, active window, client window or rectangular area. If I could get the new version to not include the menu bar or background I would go back to windowed. I just haven't figured it out yet.
Thank you for the suggestions though!

If you are using a laptop, hold down Fn key and then press Print-Screen key and it should take the capture.
If you are using a desktop, right click on the game icon (depending on whichever latest expansion/stuff pack you have, right click on the one that you use to open up the game normally), open properties,go to Compatibility tab and disable desktop composition. After that the Print-Screen should work.

Desktop composition! That's the translation of the function that I meant but couldn't remember the English name of; its dutch name is 'Bureaublad Samenstelling'.
Anyway, because I didn't know how to adjust the shortcut, I've always manually disabled Desktop Composition as well as the Aero theme. And still - with the latest version of either Gadwin or Greenshot - no dice. But I'll try the proposed adjustment to the shortcut, and see if that does any good. Thanks to you both, @leefish and @gfitz. :-)

Yea, I failed to read correctly, the'fix' is for windows 7, but I think it will be the same in windows 10. Maybe. It would be good to know, as I remember this driving me mad when I first got Windows 7.

I have Windows 10. I use FRAPS and play in windowed mode. FRAPS takes a pic/vid of the game window and nothing else - no title bar, nothing behind the window, just the game itself. Works great.

Yeah, THAT is the problem: In windowed mode, everything works as advertised. But I do NOT want to play in windowed mode. I *exclusively* play in full screen mode to avoid distractions. And thus, my screen shots must also be taken in full screen mode. I'm very particular about this.

Oh, yeah, sorry BO! My post was aimed at gfitz who said they'd play in windowed mode if the screenshot program worked. I don't use FullScreen mode myself. Have you tried FRAPS? It might work in FullScreen mode. I've tried a couple other screenshot programs and didn't like them, but I love FRAPS. It's designed specifically for games and is easy to use.
