Those are the threads/article that I have referenced to get my screen shot to work. I actually did have it working. Then I modularized my code (went to OOP from proceduralistic approach), and now, it no work.
Here is my code:
What is going wrong? I keep getting either a pink picture or a green picture. My shots are most definately not pink nor all green.
Thanks!
If you have the debug runtime of Direct3D activated, it will clear every new frame with green and magenta sequencially.
So, I'd guess that you're trying to get the backbuffer's content before rendering any visible polygons.
[edit] try switching your Direct3D runtime to Retail.
tto do that open your Control Panel and double click on the "DirectX" Icon. Then click on "Direct3D" tab and there it is.

Thank you! That got it for me. The end-user doesn't have to worry about that, right?

I don't think so. It wouldn't be the first game not working okay with the Debug runtime.
Anyways, if I were you I'd try to find out a way to make it work with retail or debug runtimes.
But I don't think that is a major problem.
