There is the chance. I remember it being discussed before but can't find the thread.

fatleaf: This looks like an error saving in the png format. I see your picture is 799x413 resolution. Is this the actual window size you are playing at? Also, which OS are you on?

In, Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display\Screen Resolution. The recommended resolution is 1366 x 768. That is what I have it set to. My OS is Windows7 64 bit.

Thanks for the help.

Can you try setting it to 1024x768 or similar and taking a screenshot? 1366x768 seems to save the png correctly here.

Also, split to Testing and Bug Reports.

It seems to work. But everything is stretched out and a bit blurry. so much so it begins to hurt the eyes after 2 min.

OK, feel free to set it back to 1366x768. Is that the only resolution giving you problems with screenshots? Are you playing in full screen or window? What is the desktop color depth?

Questions, questions... And one last (maybe) thing: Can you start the game in the problematic resolution, take a snapshot right at the start and exit immediately, then paste the log?

Here is the log you requested. http://www.4shared.com/file/bvtTj8k6/Latest.html
I will now try the rest.

I have tried with different screen resolutions and it gets a bit blurry, but I can take a snapshot.

I am playing in a maximized window. I tried it with a smaller window and it works great.

Are these what you are looking for?
Display Settings
colour quality 32 bit
screen resolution 1366x768
refresh rate 60 Hertz

Colour Correction
Gamma 1.0
Brightness 0
Contrast 50

At least I have a solution that works. Thanks

Ok I have got this far... Now how do I get it to pop up bigger when you click on it?

On Photobucket, select the 'thumbnail' option of the appropriate pic and post that link.
