[Coco] video capture on W-xp

[paulh96636 at aol.com]

Hi, Joe -

Again with a question on printscreen's video capture:? is there a fix for a video site which uses 

RealPlayer instead of Windows Media Player?



The overlay fix also works for W2000 and its older WMP *but* you need to bring up Task Manager
by hitting ctrl-alt-del.? Then close out Task Manager w/o stopping any process.? Then printscreen
will show the screen by pasting into Paint (however, the W2K version of Paint doesn't seem to let 
you save the capture other than as a BMP), otherwise a black window capture results.

???? -ph

Perhaps, or the "working" machine may just have a video card that doesn't
support overlay. In that case the app asks for an overlay and the driver
just says "yea sure" and does it in software.
Anyway glad it helped.
