Everytime I try to take a screenshot of half life 2, it crashes and takes me back to the desktop, anyone have any ideas? I have newest catalyst drivers, etc ,8.8, game runs fine, on max at 2560x1600
 
I narrowed the problem down to the 2560x1600 resolution. It takes screenshots at 1920, I can easily run the game, so I am at a loss.
 
I remember reading on the steam forums that if you try to take a SS in-game and the game resolution exceeds your Windows resolution this will happen. Try setting your desktop resolution to what you are gaming at.

I don't know if this is true or not, it's just something I read a while back.
 
2560x1600 is my native and gaming resolution, so no dice on that either :(, and if I put at 1920 then it takes screenshots X_X
 
Maybe there is something in the steam registry that limits SS to 1920?

Could be, but why does EP1 and EP2 take screenshots fine? Isn't it all source engine, ie Half life 2 uses the updated version from EP2? I dunno and Steam Support won't get back to me.
