I was trying to show a friend what MOO2 looks like but when I pressed print screen and went into paint the picture came out like this:

Any ideas why?

Yes. Moo2 uses a 256 colour VGA palette. In a 256 colour palette you define the colour value of each colour "slot" in the palette. Windows uses a standard palette, which is different from the one used in Moo2. You should get some screen capture program that also saves the palette.

Im at school right now so I cant download anything right now, but do you know any programs off by heart?

Still having troubles. I dont know what I have to find exactly... However I found this program called ScreenTheif v1.58 and it doesnt have the colour problem but the picture is all whacked...

If you just want some screenies to show someone what it looks like, theres an article here which has screenshots: http://pc.ign.com/articles/085/085828p1.html (scroll to the bottom and click on the media page link)

Yeah but what if I want to capture my own pictures?
Like the time when I sent 200 Doom Stars to attack a frigate? :P
