Are you forcing AA via drivers by any chance? FRAPS always works without hassle but you can only make 30 second recordings with the free version.

OBS works brilliant for me even in fullscreen mode, but i never tryed to make screenshots with it xD.

Normal print screen screenshots don't work for me as well witch is annoying, so i have to use fraps...

yes. when i alt tab back to the game i have grey screen (exactly like yours), when i move my mouse over i can hear the buttons as i hover the mouse over them but can't see them (so like changing slot, race etc). i can only exit from FA with task manager. Happens most of time but not always (couldn't find a pattern yet)

after you took that print screen in first comment, were you able to go back to the game or you needed to terminate it as well?

using fake full screen might be a better choice /viewtopic.php?f=41&t=2739&p=52109#p85521
