When I take a screenshot, whilst running my 3dfx2 card, it works OK
When I go to view the picture I just get a load of bright colors :c(

What the hell am I doing wrong

To get a 3Dfx screenshot you need a program like hypersnap or grab.

Quake takes openGL screenshots in targa format (which are very big files) 
and you need a viewer that is capable of viewing targa (*.tga) files, 
such as Paintshop pro or adobe photoshop or some generic viewing program.
I'm not sure why you are seeing just bright colors though.

You're not doing anything wrong, it's a bug/feature with the Voodoo 2.
Everybody has it and AFAIK there's no cure :(

Yes, but it's a bit more convenient if people were able to use F12
(the default key bound to "screenshot") to make a quick screenshot.
Do Hypersnap or grab take screenshots in TGA form?
Too bad it screws up a lot with the Voodoo 2.

More of a bug with 3DFXcards i guess (I had it when I used a Voodoo Rush
too.)
anyvay I have bound F12 to "screenshot;wait;screenshot;wait;screenshot"
normally at least _one_ of them comes out right
