Hi,

I don't quite understand why you need screen capture software? Any screen capture is screen res at 72 dpi, isn't it? Maybe I am confused about it, but I just capture with the good old "Prt Scr" button and it captures the entire screen. My capture is 1920 X 1200 Px.

Or are there other functions that capture software does to make the job easier? Just wondering.

Cheers, Ron

Just a brief note if you're using the Prt Scr key, holding down either of the ALT keys will capture the currently active form / program instead of everything that is visible. Very useful with multi monitor setups.

SnagIt is very good for complicated captures, like grabbing full menus and flyouts with a single click.

Sizer is a nice free program that can autosize your windows to set sizes, like 640x480 ect.
