Perhaps the program you are using to view the bitmap is zooming it out?

I opened the bitmap with paint- size was right, but the coulours were wrong.

Could be a problem with Paint's color table. FWIW, I've pasted the PrntScrn image into Painst Shop Pro as well as Photoshop, and it looked exactly as it should. You could test this by getting a more robust graphics program (you can download a free demo of Paint Shop pro I believe) and see if the error is duplicated.

On the sound issue, I believe aldin meant to turn the sound off using a command-line switch when you start the program. I don't know what that switch is offhand but it should be in the game docs, or maybe posted on this forum.

EDIT: I just found it on the Dominions X site: the switch is --nosound

You might try another paint program. The capture should be perfect but the program might not be saving it well. I use GIMP which is free and powerful but not easy to learn.

Right click on shortcut for Dom2 demo and choose properties.

Click on Shortcut tab.

Type --nosound at the end of the field called Target after this: "C:\Program Files\dominions2demo\dom2demo.exe".

Click OK.

Then double-click on the shortcut.

We´ll try that; thanks.

"--nosound" didn´t work. Any other suggestions?

CoffeeDragon,
What type of crash do you have ? Exit to desktop ? BSOD ? Comp frozen ?
And when does it happen ? Playing on strat map ? Combat replay ?
Did you try unistall/clen HD/reinstall ?
