I know you are trying to help, but what kind of prat would do a print-screen then not try to dump it into Paint or some other program?? You have to have tried that first anyway to know that it wasn't working!!

For the record I've tried Irfanview, Paint and Photodraw. No point in trying any others, especially since I now have good reason to believe that Print Screen is grabbing the image but it is either mangling it or the next step in the process is corrupted. My bet is the mangling.

No need to photograph either, I can roll out my P75 W95 Libretto that I use to download the data on site and Print-Screen on that, then transfer to a floppy and dump it onto my new computer. But I'd rather do it all on the one computer, which is why I am looking for the cause of the problem, and/or a permanent solution. I might give DOS Box a go when I get some spare time, either that or load MS Virtual Machine and install WFWG3.11.

Cheers

People have been known to do all sorts of daft things when stressed, maybe I should have read the whole thread instead of just skimming it :devil
