    Allegro Screen Shot Freezes

    BITMAP *bmp;
    PALETTE pal;


    if (key[KEY_P])
    {
    get_palette(pal);
    bmp = create_sub_bitmap(screen, 0, 0, SCREEN_W, SCREEN_H);
    save_bitmap("dump.pcx", bmp, pal);
    destroy_bitmap(bmp);
    ScreenSaveNumber++;
    }

    The Program Freezes and it DOES save an Image named dump.pcx, only it has only half of a screen shot.

    Hmm, try commenting out the line:
    bmp = create_sub_bitmap(screen, 0, 0, SCREEN_W, SCREEN_H);
    and see if that clears up the problem. I'm not sure the documentation on that part has been updated and I'm pretty sure it doesn't apply to Windows.
