Does anyone know of a program that can take screenshots of a DOS program? (Tyrian2000 if you want to know)
Print Screen key doesn't capture anything.

Believe me, I've tried every possible setting I could think of on my XP machine and it doesn't work.

DOSBox and take the screenshot from there.
Couldn't get it to work

The DOSBox site shows Tyrian2000 as "supported" as of v0.61.
Have you tried using a frontend to make configuring DOSBox for it easier?

I downloaded a frontend (D-Fend to be exact) for DOSbox, I can now take screenshots.
Thanks for all the help
