I went out and got a new graphics card recently. But since i got the new card, i cant take any screens correctly. When i do, the pc takes a screen of the desktop. But if i use photoshop and try to make a very large pic, like a banner i can see a little bit of my screenshot. ive been working at it every evening for about a week now, and no luck. my new card is a:
ATI Radeon XTASY 9200SE PCI
Anyone with some helpful advice is greatly appreciated.

Are you running dual monitors?

make sure you installed the video driver for the new card correctly, check it's driver details and see if the number matches the driver you installed.
Set your desktop resolution for 1024 x 768 or 1 up or down from that, and set your sim resolution the same, see what happens.
I don't like the way it's clipping your desktop though, instead of the sim, like it sees the desktop as the "active" window or screen........ maybe a registry cleanout may help ?
