I get the DC of the full screen ( - GetDc(0) - )
When I use the GetPixel function everything OK but...
When I play a dos game or playing a simple video the function returns a "Non True" color
What is the problem - and how I can solve it?
thanks in advance
You can use the example from here to check it

Can you explain what you actually get? Is the value returned the index in the LUT or just some random garbage?
Also, have you tried using this in a STANDARD VGA driver, as the graphcis driver may actually be the source of what GetPixel returns.

Maybe the bits are off?
How I check it?
Maybe find out what bit depth the program runs at. Dos games ran in stuff like 16 or 256 colour mode. AFAIK "true colour" is 24 bit, with a Byte for each colour element. Lower bit depth colour modes tend to have to distribute the RGB bits unevenly. This may cause problems for your GetPixel function. I dont know.When I play a dos game or playing a simple video the function returns a "Non True" color
