With my old AMD Sempron motherboard and an ATI All-in-Wonder AGP video card, I had no trouble capturing a Firefox window.
About a month ago, I changed both motherboard and video card. Since then I can't capture a Firefox window. Instead I get a capture of the entire screen. Also, sometimes the contents of the Firefox window is shifted down and to the right, with a wide black border at the top and left side. The Firefox window is restored as soon as it regains focus. Here's the skinny on the new hardware: ASUS P5N-E motherboard with an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, PNY nVidia GeForce 8600 GTS video card using a PCI Express 16 slot. When I first changed the mother board, I installed a Diamond ATI 2600XT video card. I wasn't happy with that card and replaced it a few days ago. So the video card is not the problem. I rarely capture windows other than from Firefox, but I made a few tests and I was able to capture a folder window and a DOS window. There may other applications where PMView dsplays the same symptom, but I don't know about them. I did not reinstall Windows XP after the upgrade, I used only the Windows repair facility. PMView (version 3.51) was not touched. I hope somebody has some idea about what is going on here. |

As further explanation I'm uploading some captures.
When I try to capture a Firefox window, PMView always grabs the entire desktop as in the first screenshot. Here I clicked at the top of the window. Captured01.jpg ( 60.36K ) Number of downloads: 7 I've determined that when I click on the window affects the corruption during the instant capture. In the second screenshot, I clicked in the middle of the window. Captured02.jpg ( 54K ) Number of downloads: 5 On the last screen shot with the worst corruption, I clicked on the bottom of the Window. Captured03.jpg ( 47.75K ) Number of downloads: 4 I'm wondering if this is related the PCIExpress, because my previous video card was AGP and captures worked as they should. |
