Here is a script that uses LazyCats captdll.dll, you can get that if you follow the link on LazyCats sig

HotKeySet("{F9}", "OnScreenShot")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

While 1
    Sleep(20)
WEnd


Func OnScreenShot()
    If Not FileExists (@scriptdir & "\screenshots") Then DirCreate (@scriptdir & "\screenshots") 
    If Not FileExists(@scriptdir & "\captdll.dll") Then FileInstall( "captdll.dll", @scriptdir & "" ,1)
    Local $Cwin1 = WinGetHandle(""); gets the handle of the active window
    Local $Cwin2 = WinGetPos($Cwin1); gets active window dimensions
    Local $Quality = 85; use -1 to save as BMP or use number between 0 - 100 to save as JPG quality
    If $Quality = -1 Then
        Local $SaveAs = ".bmp"
    Else
        Local $SaveAs = ".jpg"
    EndIf   
    Local $CaptureDirectory = @ScriptDir & "\Screenshots\"; directory uses to store screen caps
    Local $CaptureFile = @YEAR & "-" & @MON & "-" & @MDAY & "_" & @HOUR & @MIN & "-" & @SEC & $SaveAs
    DllCall(@scriptdir & "\captdll.dll", "int", "CaptureRegion", "str", $CaptureDirectory & $CaptureFile, "int", $Cwin2[0], "int", $Cwin2[1], "int", $Cwin2[2], "int", $Cwin2[3], "int", $Quality)
    If @error Then MsgBox(262160,"ERROR","The screen was not captured",4)
EndFunc


Func Terminate()
    Exit
EndFunc
