1156039 2010-11-29 01:35:00 OK, tried some options:

Clip.exe: No use as I am not working at the command prompt. There is no command line access when the instrument program is running.

Jing: 30 day trial, too invasive in terms of privacy for my liking and wouldn't let me use my own name or several variations in the signing on window. Said that they were already in use. That is bollocks and I've never met that problem before on any website. Moved on........

FastStone: I've just tried it, and it captures any windows screen, and the command prompt window as well, but when I have my instrument program on screen, FastStone opens when I hit PrintScreen but the image area is blank.

Somehow or other when that particular program information is on my screen it is not visible/accessible to any screen capture system yet it works fine in all preceding Windows operating systems.

Cheerws

1156041 2010-11-29 03:36:00 Just on the off-chance... I wonder if FRAPS would help..? SoniKalien (792)
1156042 2010-11-29 04:42:00 actually

the shortcut icon for the program, when you right click it and select properties

Does the properties dialog have a Misc tab

If it does there should be options there to do with prt screen, or at least there used to be years ago

1156043 2010-11-29 05:41:00 Dosbox? (www.dosbox.com)
And windows graphical user interface frontend. (frontends.dosbox.com)
I know it's designed for games, worth a try though. :D
I use Ampshell, it works well in Vista (haven't tried in Win7 tho)

1156044 2010-11-29 16:06:00 I don't quite follow this talk of DOS.
There is a useful free-ware program called MW Snap that is quite versatile at screen capture.

1156045 2010-11-29 22:35:00 MWsnap is as good as if not better than MS "Snipping Tool" in my opinion. blanco (11336)
1156046 2010-11-30 04:26:00 Well, I've used Google fairly exhaustively, and read though a range of Forums, but nothing directly relevant or useful has come up. I've also tried a variety of hints, tips and techniques mentioned along the way but none seem to apply to this problem.

However!! I have noticed one interesting effect. It appears that the image data has in fact been captured, but for whatever reason it cannot be displayed. See the attached image (from print-screen :annoyed: of all things) which confirms that Print Screen does capture data and it is there on the clipboard, but Windows seems to be saying it "is not a file".
