When I take a screenshot with print screen, in a game, and then minimize to open up paint and to paste, I get a screenshot of my Desktop, instead of my game.

Goolging around told me to disable desktop composition, so I did that, and now when I print screen, I get just black: http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/5809/47932397.jpg

Why? I never had this problem in Vista or XP.
