OK test results: Set desktop depth to 16bit and it ran fine, the alpha was fine. Wondering if my gfx card is REALLY doing 16bit? Because when I run full screen @ 16 bit I do not see the grabbed image when it is redisplayed.
Also (unrelated) I noticed that when I created a full screen graphics window at 24 bit, the called GraphicsDepth() to check it, it was actuall 32 bit! Must be my graphics card I guess.
