FS9 Screenshot Trouble

I've had some trouble taking screenshots in FS9 with Anti-Aliasing enabled. (I don't have it on most of the time to conserve frames on my bad system.) I want to post some nice screenshots, but everytime I try to take one with A-A on, I just get a black picture. Just a black color with nothing on it. If I take one without A-A enabled, I get a regular screenshot, no problem.

Can anyone tell me if I need to have a setting on on the sim or elsewhere on my computer to be able to do this?

Thanks a bunch!

Helicopters can't fly; they're just so ugly the earth repels them.

It might be your graphics card. I had a problem with certain plane models (most of the add-ons, all the default aircraft were ok) that would not allow external views with lens refract (FSX) or anti-aliasing.

Any way to fix it without having to get a new card?

I'm not even sure that a new card may necessarily fix it.

I learned to live without A/A and will toggle the lensflare on/off depending on the aircraft I'm flying.

I think FSX comes with several options for Anti-Aliasing though (Anisotropic, Trilinear, Bilinear, and None).

That is a lot worse than I get. On some screenshots, they come out with everything but the scenery or aircraft...just ground or sky. Sometimes I'll get the "Wonder Woman" invisible plane shot. This is with a Nvidia based 8800GTX card as well.
