Leopard Screenshots coming out scrambled

[SimonJ]

I have no idea how/when this started happening, but I have recently reinstalled Leopard and I just tried screenshoting my desktop and it came out all jumbled.

My Snow Leopard Beta install doesn't have this problem so I think that rules out hardware defects.

I have never heard of this problem before... any suggestions?

I think you have entered the Matrix

Hmmmm, don't know
You have no problems with your screen, right?
Just with the screen shot?

What are you using to get the screen shot?
Keyboard shortcuts?
Grab?
3rd party App?

Hehe.. I wish

Yeah, the screen is fine. I just used cmd+shift+3 to take that screenshot.

Hmm this is getting weirder all the time - this happens while taking screenshot of the whole screen either with cmd+shift+3 or Grab. It also happens with cmd+shift+4 while selecting a part of the screen. It does NOT do this, however, when using cmd+shift+4 and then pressing the spacebar and selecting a specific window.

Hmmmmm

You can try the old standards

Resetting the PRAM
What is stored in PRAM

Or and Archive and Install of Leopard

Or you could create a new account and see if does it from there too

Well I'm pleased to say that resetting PRAM seems to have fixed it.

Thanks for the help
