I can't take a screen shot of this...?

I am trying to get a screen shot or a still from a movie but when I press the 'print screen' button it just shows up black on my paint program. WTF? Do I need a program to get this shot?

Update:

Don't have vista. I have XP.

    well, there are a lot of media players on the internet that have screen capture functionality. try VLC or Gom. and these players can play a wide range of video formats.

    so just get the players, it won't hurt.
