You need a screen-capture utility. There are some links to some Here (http://www.3dgamers.com/utils/). :)

can't you use the 'print screen' key on the keyboard, or doesn't that work on DOS?

If it was that simple I wouldn't be asking it ;) :D

You could run Dune in Windows with DOSBox (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1) and then take screenshots. :)

seems like that would work to me too. What does it do when you do that. Does it even do anything?

No nothing. Nothing in the clipboard, no sounds made by screen capture programs - nothing!
I'm talking about Dune 1 btw :), although I'm sure Dune 2 is similar :)...

Well, I'm just impressed that you've got a dos game to work in XP! :D Wanna tell me how I can get privateer 2 going?

For some reason it always worked :D. I had very few problems to run any DOS games under any OS.... Whats Privateer 2 - "Pirates!" ? I love old games - they were done with so much effort :).
With Dune I guess I will take shots of the screen...

P.S. Anyone want to chat about Dune? :D

durn, I kept looking at threads like this thinking they are about one of the old board games I used to play.
