Print Screen command copying desktop when I press Print Screen in Civ IV

I am trying to take an in-game image of Civ IV, but when I press Print Screen and go into Paint and paste my desktop comes up, that is the image which is captured. Anyone ever had this problem?

I can't use F12 cos steam captures the screen when the Civopedia is up, and not the the map.

Right click on the CIV short cut, go to compatibility and have it disable desktop composition while running. Windows 7 is stupid when it comes to Aero screwing up simple tasks like this.
