I may have seen this error before, but it was possible to fix it by task switching. If that doesn't work, MechVM shell may help. It tries to emulate the 2D parts of MW2, aside from the sim itself. MechVM shell does not have music, sound or animations, but can be used to launch the sim, and it displays the background images of the original shell. I would have to do some tests and offer a version of MechVM that supports this.

Or you could try running the game in a virtual machine, Virtual PC or VMWare player.

May I suggest you use a physical camera to take the screenshot? It would help everyone document the issue.
