By default F12 is binded with screenshotjpeg.

I found this thread with the same issue: http://eu.cybergamer.com/forums/thread/596843/Cant-take-a-screenshot-in-CoD2/
The solution was changing your resolution in CoD2.

If that doesn't work, answer these questions:

What are your graphics settings?
Do you have one or more monitors connected to your computer?
What has changed since you last tried to make a screenshot?
Are you running Windows 10?
What driver are you using for your videocard?

Edit: Which compatibility mode is CoD2 using?

I can only take a screenshot on the biggest possible resolution, but then I have 60 fps which is unplayable.

What are your graphics settings? 800 * 600
Do you have one or more monitors connected to your computer? 1
What has changed since you last tried to make a screenshot? I dont know, I hardly take screenshots
Are you running Windows 10? yes
What driver are you using for your videocard? I have the nvidia geforce 9500GT and im using the newest nvidia driver

Edit: Which compatibility mode is CoD2 using? Windows XP SP2

I'm using Windows XP SP3 (Win 10 ofc) and on 1920x1080 (max) I can make screenshot.
But on any other resolution I can't.

It is a Windows 10 compatibility issue.

You have these options:

You can't use the screenshot function (from CoD2).
A third party application might work (Steam or kubislav23's suggestion: Fraps).
Play using your maximum resolution or desktop's resolution.
Play without compatibility mode (~30s blackscreen).
Change your desktop's resolution to your CoD2 resolution before playing.
