I'm not certain how to describe this situation...

I need to get some screen caps of games I have loaded, which include Baker Street, and Trivial Pursuit, which take full control of the screen. There is no command bar, and no top bar, so none of the task switchers work.

I have tried 5 different screen cap utilities, including Epiphany CE screencap, CE capture 1.0, PQview's screen cap, Resco picture viewer's screen cap, and even a pc-based called GetPDAscreen.

I've tried them loaded to buttons, used built-in time delays, all with no luck. I get screen caps, but they are of my today screen, and not of the running game. It's as if these games have a 'window always on top' feature, and the screen cap utility just can't grab it.

Does anyone know a way around this? I'd appreciate the help before I contact the game developers. Thanks a bunch.
