Screenshot Captor / SSC auto delete files ...?
« on: April 20, 2012, 10:53 AM »
Good day,

Today i made some screenshots and saved them, at the bottom of the screen, after 'Name' as .jpg-files.

By accident i checked my Windows-bin and saw that all the .png files are 'automatically' deleted.
(I -automatically- save all my scrrenshotcaptor-screenshots first in .png)
I'm very sure that i did not delete those files.
In the past i never had this.

Am i doing somewhere something wrong?

Greetings, hippodrome

Screenshot Captor / Some help needed with ScreenShotCaptor
« on: February 07, 2012, 06:58 AM »
Good day (Mouser),
I just upgraded to the newest version of SSC. Thanks for updating.

A few questions: where can i find ...

[MajorFeature] Super deluxe scrolling capture system
and
[MajorFeature] Easy watermarking menu and options

I've be looking everywhere but have not found it. (Maybe i need to buy a new pair of glasses  :-\).

And:
A time ago i succeeded in making scrolling-captures, e.g. of a longer than the screen document.

The last time, i never succeed in making new scroll-captures.
I've been looking a the tutorial but still i couldn't make them.

I do Ctrl-Shift-PrtScr .. but nothing happens.
Sometimes i see the red border coming up, but what i do (click, click-right etc.) nothing happens.

Will you pls be so kind to explain it to me?

Thanks and greetings for Hippodrome

Screenshot Captor / Great Scanner funtions in ScreenShotCaptor
« on: February 27, 2011, 09:20 AM »
Good day Everbody,

Some years ago i bought a multifunctional from Canon (MP600R) with Omnipage-scan-software that was already included (with basic standard-scan-options). When i installed Windows-7 over Vista that scanning-function didn't work anymore with Windows7. New license will cost me more than 100 Euro, i heard from the guys of Scan Soft Omnipage. Well, than i decided to buy a new multinfunctional. Shortly before i went to the shop, i discovered (saved by the bell!) that in ScreenShotCaptor is also a scan utility available. Well, i thought that than the functions/buttons from my Canon-machine will stop or decrease, (and that i have to scan always via the SSC-program) but since i configured SSC for scanning, i can also use the scanning-buttons on my MP600R!. Just like it was before. Nothing changed?!! That's really GREAT! That saved me a lot of money buying new hardware (or either software).

So if you're looking for a nice scan utility, with extra options to modify the scanned item, just choose this Scanner in ScreenShotCaptor.
You can find it under : Edit > Preferences > Scanner Options.

Have Fun with the software.
Greetings,
Hippodrome.

Screenshot Captor / Changing inches to centimeters
« on: February 13, 2011, 10:54 AM »
Good day Mouser,

Frequently i use SSC for making Screenshots .

But when i do 'File > Print Screenshot' i always see the measuring in Inches, than i change it to centimeters (we use that over here in Holland) but next time it's again inches).

Is there a possibility to adjust this setting to CM's permanently? And maybe also to fix the settings on this small screen?

Thanks for help and many greeting.

Living Room / I have a problem buying software abroad
« on: November 28, 2010, 10:04 AM »
Good day,
I want to buy the program:

The Print Shop 23.1 Deluxe, The Complete & Easy Way to Create Impressive Print Projects

http://www.broderbun...shop-231-deluxe.aspx

It's a CD (or maybe 2) containing everything i need to make nice greeting cards etc. (i already use an older version; and it works great for me).

I have version 23.0 but now they have version 23.1, that is now compatible with Windows 7.

I want to start using Windows 7 shortly (i have the software) but definitely want to buy this copy of The Print Shop, to make the program compatible with W7.

BUT: they do not sell it outside the US of Canada. I tried several times at Broderbund software, but they do not want to sent it to my country, Holland.
They told me that.

I looked at Amazon.com, Amazon.UK, i looked everwere but nobody has this specific copy 23.1.

Broderbund software confirmed me that the only way to get this software is to ask somebody in the US to buy it for me ...... !! Nobody else seems to sell this copy, 23.1

Good gracious ....... what a shame.

But now i see that the price is very very low (DVD in Sleeve - Windows -  $49.99
 On Sale For $12.99 !!!!!!)  i want to ask ... (and in have no experience with this):

It there anybody in te US who can help me with this????

Anybody who will order this software on his/her adress in the US, put this in a 'envelope', and that i first pay the money, including all extra fees for shipping it to my home?

This will be a kind of 'trusting each other'.  Well, i can always try.

Well, i will wait for an answer and see what to do than.

Thanks for reading, Greetings, Pitrpaulus from The Netherlands (Holland).

Screenshot Captor / hotkey for capturing active window
« on: May 07, 2010, 04:44 AM »
Good Day!
Yesterday i downloaded and installed and read the info about the latest version of this WONDERFULL program.

i looked at the hotkey for capturing active window and what was written:

"[MinorChange] Changed default hotkey for capturing active window to Ctrl+PrtScr (the previous default of Alt+PrtScr was very stupid decision since the Alt key can activate menus)"

But .. when i use my right mouse on the icon, next to the clock i can still see 'Alt+PrtScr' ..... (see attachment).

Do i have to change something over here in the computer or something else?

Thanks for help and ... have a really nice day!

Screenshot Captor / Scanner funct. from SSC
« on: November 20, 2009, 07:30 AM »
Good day Mouser,

The following question i put on the forum and had an anwer on it. But i have a question for Screen Shot captor.
I CAN make a scan with your program to my Canon Pixma MP600r, via my laptop.

But ... with the Nuance software i can also do that WIRELESS from the Canon-scanner, when my laptop is somewhere else in the house.
But is that also possible with ScreenShot Captor. I think there has to be created a link/recognition between Canon and ScreenShot Captor.

i hope you understand.

Greetings,
pitrpaulus

Topic on the General Forum:
i have a Canon Multifunctional Pixma MP600R. I use the included software for wireless scanning from Nuance, ScanSoft Omnipage SE 4.0.

When, in the next future, i want to upgrade my Windows Vista to Windows-7, the software for scanning from Nuance is not compatible with/for Windows-7.
And the guys of Nuance told me that this free-included software will not be supported in the future. The same story from Canon.

They 'advised' me to buy there software for a few hundred of dollars ...


Does anybody know if there are alternatives for that ScanSoft Omnipage? And that i can use that with my Canon Pixma?

(btw. i use also ScreenShotCaptor and i read about a 'scan-functionality'. But will that work with that Canon-machine..??).

Thanks in advance. pitrpaulus.

Good Day,
somewhere, but i forgot where, i read something about a kind of patch that one can download and install, to Stop MS Update from automatic downloading Vista SP-1, in march. (i read so many problems etc. with that package and maybe it will affect some installed programs on my computer, e.g. The Print Shop/Broderbund).
Does anybody know how to handle this?

Thanks. pitrpaulus

Good Day, I downl and installed the 2.37 version of Screen Shot Captor. Even if I tick: start up with windows and close to tray (see screenshot) when I do a reboot in the corner left above I see SSC minimized on the Desktop-screen. (with my other version of SSC it never was a problem) Who can help me? : so what I want = I will start SSC with Windows so that it is ready in the taskbar near the clock, but only visible there and not on the Desktop-screen.
Thx in advance, pitrpaulus.

Good Day, During manually Windows (Vista) Update: I got the following message:
WindowsUpdate_80073712 WindowsUpdate_dt000. Error 80073712/ Text (tranlated from Dutch) " Cannot look for Windows Update". MS database searched. Also looked in Google and many people had the same problem but -till so far for me- there is not a helping solution. Has anybody had this error also during manually Windows update? I can see in the history of updates that since August 20 there have not been any updates from Microsoft neither for Windows Defnder.
Hope to hear from you. If you reply, pls. make it not too difficult; I 'm just an ordinary computer-user, not a programmer ;)   Thanks, PitrPaulus.

June 22, 2007
Hello and Good Day. I bought a new PC with Windows Vista and installed a LaCie drive; Now the LaCie ICON is MISSING. How can I get the icon back??
I followed the steps on the Lacie website (" To change the drive icon:
# Do “Get Info” (command i) on both the hard drive and the icon file.
# The icon for each will show in the upper left corner of the “Get Info” window.) but that doesn't work. (Command i ???).  :(
I think they wrote it for Windows XP.
Who can help me pls?
Thanks from PiterPaulus.
(see also screenprint).

GoodDay,
I have problems with the sleep-mode and the stand-by mode on my Vista installation: after sometime the computer goes into the sleep/standby-mode. But the waking up is hardly difficult. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. And when I shut down the computer I got messages that this was not done properly.
The same problem when I set the computer by hand in the standby or sleep-mode. I changed both, I mean: first I thougt it was sleeping-mode that caused problems, then I changed to standby, but the problems remain.
I've been reading a lot of articles about it but cannot solve the problem.

ASUS (I have one) wrote this, but ... I cannot find any 'Device Manager'; I've been searching everywhere....

Asus: "This is VISTA OS problem.  VISTA does not allow system to enter Standby mode, if "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" for an USB or PS/2 wake supported device (such as mouse or keyboard) has been checked under "Device Manager", while the used USB or PS/2 port has not switched its power mode to +5VSB, which allows delivery of standby power to USB or PS/2 ports under soft OFF state.
As VISTA enables this option per default, and motherboards often set USB power modes to +5V at the same time, this two settings may result in conflict, hence causes this trouble.

To fix this, simply uncheck "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" for your USB mouse and PS/2 keyboard under "Device Manager", if you do not desire to wake the system via your USB mouse and/or PS/2 keyboard.

If wake from USB mouse and/or PS/2 keyboard option is required for your application, simply turn off your PC, set the particular USB port used to connect your USB mouse, and/or your PS/2 port(depending on if you wish to allow wake from PS/2 device) to +5VSB as per the instructions in your user manual, then turn it on again, and disable "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" for devices you do not wish to use to wake your system from, and your system will be able to enter and wake from standby mode in your desired manner".

Well, does anybody know where I can find and I can change something in that 'Device manager'?? And pls explain above mentioned a bit more clear, I don't understand 50% of what is written (I'm just an ordinary travel-agent.... ;).

Thanks in advance. Greetings, PitrPaulus.

Good Day! I bought a new laptop with Windows Vista. In the old computer with Windows XP, in my Print shop 20 (Broderbund software)program I  made more than hundred projects. Problem: when I move them to the new computer I can not review the projects in the Print Shop program. ( I move them from here-to-there with the 'Windows-Verkenner' I don't know the word in english -sorry).
I know were the 'projects' are in the old computer, I mean the map. Earlier I used cut-'n-paste to move them out en in, when necessary.
When I cut them in the old computer (Windows XP) and drop them in the new one (Vista) the program shows me not a single project,even after re-starting the computer and so on.
I seems to me that the Printshop 'doesn't recognise' or somethin like that, those projects.
And I'm sure that I put them in the right map in Vista. (if I make new projects, I can see where they were created and dropped in Vista).
ONLY ONE time I succeeded in viewing y projects on the new computer > I cut-'n-paste the whole map 'projects' in stead of all separate things.
BUT when I re-started.... everyting was gone. :(
I hope that somebody has an idea how to handle.
(I've been working on the projects for a few years...)
Greetings, Pitr Paulus.

Good Day,
I installed Windows Vista on my brand new laptop but everytime when I start up I see an 'Introduction screen'.
There is a checkbox in the left corner but checking it or not: this bloody screen comes up after every new start up, day after day .... Grrrrr.
I've been reading a lot of websites about Vista but cannot find a solution.
Who can help?
Thanks in advance, Pitr Paulus.

Good Day!
I use ScrSh.Captor for quite a long time and never had problems. Till now: Several times I add text to a screenprint. Ok. When I look back after some minutes at the saved(!) screenprint, the text has been changed in only-some-unreadable-characters'.

Hope anyone can help me.
See the attachment pls.
Thx, PitrPaulus.

Living Room / Proxy server problems
« on: November 12, 2006, 02:05 PM »
Hello,
Since 2 days I receive very often in my Firefox 2 browser 'the Proxy server refuses connection'.
I have XP-SP2 with all necess. updates and so on. If I try sometimes with the 'refresh'button than I get sometimes the connection.
This is not on ALL programs and by the moment of the day that changes. Sometimes this website and later on not, but than on another one....

Does anybody know if this is a problem in MY computer or is this 'somewhere' else, at the (Tele2) provider or ..? ?

Where can I check my 'Proxy Server things...?'
Thanks in advance.

ProcessTamer / New User Process Tamer / some questions
« on: November 12, 2006, 01:56 PM »
Hello Mouser, A few days ago I read in the D.C.-newsletter something about Process Tamer. Till that time I had only heard of 'CPU'-usage, not more. I installed and configured now my most important and more unimportant programs. Everything works fine.
This is a good way of getting more knowledge what you're PC is really doing.

Am I right that with Process Tamer you can have priority with programs over other programs?

A question: my AVG-virus scan and also Spyware-Doctor scan I set 'Low', so that Firefox and (Incredi)Mail should run faster. The above mentioned scans have less priority so I think they go any slower (I would expect that). Is that right? (The scaningtimeis

Is 'REALTIME'  the fastest possiblity for a program or do I have to set it 'HIGH'?
Is it preferable to set no-too-much programs in 'High'?

Thanks so far. I still use your Screenshot Captor very often. Also a nice program!
Greetings from PitrPaulus.

Living Room / Microsoft.msxml2, public KeyToken....
« on: August 29, 2006, 05:21 PM »
Hello,
I'm trying to (re)install 'the Print Shop 20' (= Ok for Windows XP!). (. I had it on my Laptop for a few years but due to a program-hangup, I had to delete and re-install the program. Everything went fine but totally at the end, when registration has been done and shortcuts are on the screen, I get the message (see screenshot) 'Microsoft.msxml2, PublicKeyToken.... bla-bla...
And the whole installation is rolled-back. And I cannot get this program again on my LapTop with Windows XP SP2.

At the end: an unrecoverable error (see screenprint) with the shortcut.

I think there must be something missing but .... what now ...?

Oh boy, I'm afraid, this is gonna be a long story. Yagh!!

Hope anyone can help me.  Greetings, PitrPaulus.

Living Room / Necrofile or other... ?
« on: August 14, 2006, 07:53 AM »
GoodDay!
I use necrofile (http://www.necrocosm.com/download.html) to free space on my hard-disc. What's Necrofile: "Well, NecroFile takes the partitions you select from a list and it overwrites the clusters with mock data. This will push all deleted programs off of the hard disk and into oblivion where it belongs. It does *not* damage any data that exists on the drive, and this is guaranteed."
This really works simple and I never had any problems of deleting too much or the wrong files.
BUT... everytime I use the program I have some hang-ups, altough I first do the recommended scan-disc and then the defagmentation. (So it takes a lot of time and energy to use this program.)

Does anybody know if there's a similar program that does the same thing?

(I must be a easy as Necrofile(!): just cleaning the free space on your hard disc automatically, just by selecting the right disc-letter (clean C+D+E >> ready)).

Greetings, PitrPaulus
