Hey guys,
Whenever I take a screenshot in Dungeon Keeper 1 I get this. What gives?

Keep in mind I'm using the Windows version and I'm currently using Windows 7.
Any help would gladly be appreciated.

Windows doesn't properly support screenshots in 8bpp colour space.

You can use KeeperFX - it has a screenshot function. Or you can use DOSBox and DOS version of DK - DOSBox can do screenshots too. Note that both will give you a file on disk, not the image in clipboard.

Finally, you could use additional tool for screen capture - there are plenty, but I don't really know any of them.

And one more possible solution - messing with windows compatibility options related to DirectDraw and colour spaces could potentially fix that.
