Mystery solved: print Windows Media Player screens

If you use normal screen-capture software to take a snapshot of a video in Windows Media Player, it come out blank. This used to drive me nuts. Here's the seven-step solution:

1. Open Windows Media Player
2. Go to Tools
3. Go to Options
4. Go to Performance
5. Click the "Advanced" button
6. Un-check the "Use Overlays" tick-box
7. Click OK

Now you're ready to print. Use a screen capture tool like MWSnap - or if you don't have one handy, Control-Print Screen on your PC takes a shot of the screen and puts it in the clipboard ready to paste.
