    By default F12 is binded with screenshotjpeg.

    I found this thread with the same issue: http://eu.cybergamer.com/forums/thre...nshot-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.
