DOS full screen CAPTURE runing under Windows XP

[CH Choong]

Hi!

I have a software that runs in DOS. This application
works fine under Windows XP but only in full screen mode
(graphics VGA). I need to capture frequent graphics
screen shots from this DOS program running under Windows
XP. When "Printscreen" is pressed I only get a black
image square from the previews of my print screen
utility. How can I capture a Full DOS screen as a image
under Windows XP. I've already tried more than dozen
print screen capture utilities but non seems to work.
Many hours and days had been spent on to find the
solution without any success. My DOS program always work
fine in DOS full screen capture under Windows 9x
previously.

I look forward to any solutions.

Thanks.

Regards
CH Choong

Hi CH Choong,

I have the same problem with a similar application.

Have you now found a solution?

Start>All Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt
Rightclick the Command Prompt>Properties>Layout tab
There you can reconfigure the size of the DOS windows
to your satisfaction. When done click Apply and OK.

See http://www.techsmith.com/products/snagit/tutorials/7011.asp for one
possibility.
Also, there were some DOS TSR screen capture utilities that might possibly
work if loaded to the same VM.

Hi CH Choong,

I have the same problem with a similar application.

Have you now found a solution?

Hi XP - WNP

Your solution is OK if the DOS application can be located in a windows screen.
In my application, as in the problem that CH Choong outlined, the DOS image is in Full screen and cannot be located in a small windows screen following the normal procedure that you advised.

However, I have now found a solution! If CH Choong has not already found a solution, I will be pleased to communicate it to him. It is rather tortuous, but it works!
