Windows 7 screenshots appear black screen leading to a black and white picture

1 In the windows xp era, many users have been troubled by the video screenshots of "all black pictures". In this regard, in the solution to the local playback when the screenshot becomes black, there are generally two ways to solve, one method is to use two different players, open the same file at the same time; another method is to disable DirectDraw.

2 users familiar with Windows XP and Windows 7 should know (by default) that DirectDraw is enabled under Windows XP and Windows 7. The difference is that under Windows XP, users can disable it, and under Windows 7, it can't be disabled. This also means that Windows 7 users can't solve the problem of blacking out the screenshot by "Disable DirectDraw".

3 By default, DirectDraw under Windows 7 cannot be disabled. By default, DirectDraw in Windows 7 cannot be disabled, but we can disable it by other workarounds:

4 Under Windows 7, run the Registry Editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/GraphicsDrivers/DCI, then find and double-click "Timeout" in the right window, and then change the default value "7" to "“0”" in the pop-up window.
