Since installing a V3 2000 card, I have not been able to take a screenshot
in GPL, they just appear scrambled. I never had any problems with my V2 or
Banshee cards. Anyone else experience this?

How do you take screenshots in GPL?

From readme_GPL.txt in your GPL folder:

CAPTURING SCREENSHOTS

There are two methods of taking screenshots during the game.  First you can
press ALT-PrintScreen to capture the current screen in the clipboard,
allowing you to exit GPL and paste it into the paint program of your choice.
Secondly, and useful if you want to take a number of different shots at
once, pressing just the PrintScreen button saves sequentially numbered PBF
files (gplss##.pbf) to your GPL directory.  After exiting GPL you can then
use the included pbf2tga.exe program to convert them to a usable TGA format.

Thanks Don.  I did try looking through the various readme files in that
folder, but couldn't find anything about screenshots.  I also searched my
HDD for the readme_GPL.txt file, but it isn't there. Could have been removed
or overwritten by the 1.2 patch or possibly by some of the other 3rd party
patches/add-ons?  *shrug*  No biggie.
