How to take screens while not being in a window?

I need to "prove it or (insert dismissal, witty comment, acronym)", I'm trying to take screens with fraps to display my FPS, but as I have Windows 7, I need to run in a window for it not to capture the desktop...and that kills my performance.

Anyway around running in a window?

?? i dont understand your fraps program takes a pic of your desktop while the game is running as well as the game? thats not right lol
your game should be full screen and fraps just takes a screen shot of the game at full screen rez...

This.

I use 'ZScreen' it's free and works well

I'm using Windows 7, and Print Screen does not work unless you run the game in a window, I've tried zscreen, this also doesn't work. I'm going to give FRAPs a try, but I'm not holding out hope.

I have the same problem, and fraps doesn't work for me either.

Well you can always press Print Screen, then go to Paint or w/e photo editor and paste it then save it to your computer.....

i have windows 7 x64 and fraps runs perfectly for me... does everything its supposed to do

Yes Rotaugen, Fraps works now. I got the newest version and so far it works well.

W7x64.

Fraps also works fine for me.

win7x64

Fraps works perfectly fine for me, except the record thingy, because of the Realtek HD Audio bug. The sounds is CRAP when recording, other than that... screenshotting and recording without sound works

Fraps works fine too, movies, screenshots, everything.

win 7 x32

I have the same issue and im using Xfire for it. Works perfectly, can immediatly upload them aswell.
