    Hello Amrit12r,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers Site.

    In addition to the above reply, to capture a screen shot while using Windows Media Player 12, you may press the Print Screen key on the keyboard and then paste the image into Windows Paint.

    I hope this information is helpful.

    Thank you,

    Mary

    Print Screen (Alt+Print Screen, Snipping tool, OneNote 2010) - they all create screenshots with black screen. Windows Media player contorls are visible fine, but Video content is not shown - just black background. This was a typical issue in WMP 10 and they way to overcome it was to go to Options > Performance > Advanced and either disable overlays. Now in WMP12 there is no "Disable overlays" - so how can you capture the screenshot?

    Just for cuiosity - have you tried to press Alt+Print ?

    It creates a screen-capture in windows clipboard. You might be able to insert the screenshot of your wmp 12-window into a graphic program like windows paint.
