Unable to save images with Media Player Classic

I fucking give up, I fucking give up!

I've been messing with this for hours, googling and everything. I'm not using a overlay video option, I have it on the settings they tell you to have it on which has apparently helped everyone in the past. But not for me. Every time, on every setting, I get:

GetCurrentImage failed, hr = 8000ffff
GetCurrentImage failed, hr = 8000ffff
GetCurrentImage failed, hr = 8000ffff
GetCurrentImage failed, hr = 8000ffff
GetCurrentImage mother fucking failed, hr = 8000ffff

Pardon how I'm acting but I am very annoyed due to the fact I'm trying to save reference here. I don't know what to do. I'd use another player but MPC has something none of the others seem to have, being able to go frame by frame via the arrow key. This is ideal for getting the right image you want.

I don't know what to do, and seeing how everyone always answers "Turn overlaying off" I don't know how I'm gonna get help.

Just tried mine and it doesnt work too. Not to kick you while you're down but the overlay thing worked for me.
My setting are as follows:

Had it on overlay mixer but changed to system default. I know you said that you weren't using an overlay mixer, but i didint think i was either until i actually checked

On a similar note, can you not printscreen instead? ALso try using VirtualDub, since you can use the arrow keys to move through the frames too, then just press ctrl+1 and it copies the frame to clipboard than you just paste and save.

I can't use VD for this cause it is a WMV file, which VD can't open. I dunno if I can have a plugin which allows it or not.

But I tried your settings and it works now, thank you!

Screw iTunes, screw Apple period.

Hahaha, this is pretty funny.

I run into the same problem and it turns out Buuhan's topic was one of the most popular Google searches for it! Positively hilarious, I say.

Once upon a Stratford I got MPC + CCCP working, if I ever get it working again I'll have to post the directions here.

If anyone happens to know the solution that would be even more useful right now…

...

Well, that was relatively painless. Just disable Overlay in the Options menu, but be sure to close the MPC window because nothing happens until one does.

Ahahaha, oh snap, it is! I'm loling at the fact of people coming off google and greeted with the text "I fucking give up, I fucking give up!".

Hey Buuhan1, if you want (when I find it), I can give you Zplayer (full). It has frame advance and you can take screenshots very easily.
