I had the same problem when using R:TW's inbuilt screenshot function. I evaded it by using a freeware screenshot program (FRAPS or Howie's freeware), but I am told turning of anti-aliasing also works.

That's because you have your Anti Aliasing turned on. You will need a third party print screen program, such as the ones Ludens Mentioned.
Or if you don't want to do that turn off your AA.

Word. thanks guys. Can I turn off AA in the middle of a campaign or do have to reset in options and start over? I'm taking one at a time at the moment and copying into Paint for my AAR...A little tedious. But I really don't want to start my campaign over for obvious reasons.
