Hi,

A friend has a new Win7 machine and can't get Hoversnap v08 running.
She downloaded the zip file, ran it, with gives

Readme.txt
HoverSnap.exe
HoverKHook.dll

Then when she launches the .exe, she gets a messages saying that
HooverKHook.dll cannot be found.

Anyone ideas? Is this program compatible with Win7, both 32- and
64-bit?


Sounds like she is trying to run it from within the ZIP. When you do
that it unpacks the file being run (only that file) a temp location.
Try unpacking all the files into to a single folder and run it form
there. It should then see it's DLL right next to it.




We put the .zip in:

Downloads\hoversnap and unpacked it in the hoversnap folder, which gave the
three files mentioned, in the hoversnap folder. Then she double clicked
HoverSnap.exe. Do you think this still be incorrect? I won't be at her
machine until Monday to try anything differently.

Does Win7 have it's own screen grabbing tool, like SnipIt? I believe she's
running Win7 Pro, 64-bit.


Yes, it's listed as "Snipping Tool" and is found under the Accessories
Folder in the Menu.
