screen colors snapshot vista x86 x64

Screen colors on "snapshot" - Vista x86 and x64

This is in html to show the screenshot I've tried to ALT+PrintScreenKey to capture windows as I've always done, but the colors are all distorted - anyone else tried this ? I pasted to Word and Paint etc - same bad picture - the size is wring and the colors are awful. THIS is how it looks using Microsoft capture copy /paste commands: BUT if I define a hotkey and use my old dos "Printkey" app - the snapshot is fine - like so:

Try the new-fangled "Snipping" (as opposed to sniping?) tool for screenshots. Works very well for me and it is resizable.
