Impict Image Editor on Windows 7

Unread post by Alexander Key »

Hi,
I encountered a problem with Impict Image Editor on OS Windows 7.
When I try to do a screen capture of an application, Impict doesn`t select the main window.
On windows XP and Vista everything was ok.
What could be the problem ?
version of H&M 5.4.0.

Hi Alexander,

Please download the 5.6 update to Help & Manual 5, which you can get from the link down at the BOTTOM of this page:

http://www.helpandmanual.com/downloads.html

In many cases, you will find that the screen capture feature does not work so well if the Aero Glass interface is switched on (transparent windows). You will generally get better results if you select the Windows 7 Basic theme instead. This will also solve the problem with the inability to select some special window types like Internet Explorer.

In addition to this I would also recommend the current version of our TNT screen capture utility, which is now completely free for both private and commercial use. This has now been updated to work better with Windows 7, and it will also capture Aero Glass windows (although it is not possible to capture the rounded corners without a little triangular tag at the apex). You can download it here:
