Most likely, something you installed did this.
Can you go to Console and tell us what it says when you do take a capture?
OK, it works well with another account. Puzzling.
But what does it mean, why it does not work with my original account? And also, how can it be fixed? Is there somebody here in Dubai who are specialized and can take a look at it?

Stay hungry. Stay Foolish.
what do you mean 'going to console'. sorry i am really not a sophisticated computer person...
all i can say is that when i take any kind of screen shot it gives me a picture as the one attached.
If you can find the file com.apple.screencapture.plist, in (Usename)/Library/Preferences, try and delete this. This pref file is only used in OS 10.4. I'm not sure where the prefs for the screenshot utility are in 10.5.
i have a file with this name:
com.apple.screenreaderd.plist
but i just bought my computer in march 2009, and i have not installed anything other after i got from apple store in ibn battuta. then screen capture worked for a couple of months and now it does not work anymore...
Leave that file alone - it is the preferences file for your screensaver.
The problem is almost certainly a corrupt file in your (username)/library folder, and probable a corrupt preferences file in Username/Library/Preferences.
Your options are really to find the offending file, or to move all your data across to a new user account.
In the meantime, please will you open Grab, and try make a screenshot using it, and let me know. If you can't find it try spotlight search for it.
oh, and can you also try and repair permissions, if you haven't already. For help on how to do that check in the help menu.
Found it. On Leopard the preferences file for screen capture is called
com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist
If you locate this file in (Username)/Library/Preferences and drag it to the trash and then restart your computer and try take a screenshot again that might fix it.
with grab - same issue. see attached file.
is there anywhere i can take my computer here, so that somebody can help me fix it?
