I took a look at my screenshots folder and I discovered that some of them were all-black. From the dates, I suspect this problem is related to my graphics card. My previous one died suddenly and I replaced it. Since then, some of my screenshots are entirely black. Any ideas?

Try opening them with different image viewing programs, or on a different computer.Former TW Staff -
I had same problem forgot how it was solved but it was thanks to k a n e his help (no joke, i do <3 kane though, no homo). So maybe he remembers...Comment

Ok, thanks. I will track down KANE.
Well, it says he has no recent activity, so I'll have to find him in-game.
He said it might be a permissions issue, however, this is Windows XP, and I haven't changed ANYTHING other than the graphics card.
I will try to use a different program to open them, but that's not much of a permanent fix.
Other programs also display a black image. It's the graphics card.Last edited by Bukkake Surprise; 10-07-2013, 02:22 PM.Comment

Just one possible fix if this still is an issue: the first screenshot you take during a session might be black due to the default themes and drawing modes windows has, especially on 7+ and windowed mode. It will auto-set to a more compatible mode after that mostly though and all following screenshots should be normal. If that does not work killing the explorer.exe did the job for most of the people I helped who could not get it fixed by any setting.
Howto:
1. Windows Key + R
2. cmd + Enter
3. taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
4. play but leave this window open
5. when done playing or you want your taskbar and folders back: "start explorer.exe"
Or make a txt file in your cont folder and input the following:
@echo off
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
Continuum.exe
pause
start explorer.exe
exit
Save and rename to "whatever.bat" then start Continuum by double clicking this file.
This method also works to fix graphics errors in other old games such as diablo 1 or starcraft.Comment

Thanks for the help. I haven't played since making that post, so I don't know if that software emulation trick worked or not. If it doesn't, I will try your suggestions. Thank you very much.
I use Windows XP, by the way, and I play full screen.Comment
