I can't understand your problems! I am also running Win2000 SP2 since two weeks, Win2000 SP1 for 1.5 years before (in 1024*768 16-bit colour mode), WinNT for 2 years before that and WinME on my desktop at home. The only problem is the one I mentioned earlier - while you are running PrtSc/Alt-PrtSc do NOT capture the CURRENT screen, but the one that existed when you switched TO the full-screen DOS application (SkyMap ...). So the solution is : Alt-Return twice to get out of full-screen and back; or Alt-Tab or Win-m , then click on the taskbar. After that, [Alt-]PrtSc will grab the image that existed at the time of restoration. The error message on Paste must depend on the application (and/or a SLIGHT format change in the clipboard data). I am using PaintShop Pro, but I also tried Outlook, Word2000 and WordPad, and all work equally well. But I do have a more serious problem - when my company replaced my three year old Dell Latitude CPi by a Dell Latitude C610, SkyMap menus AND graphics run 50-100 times slower! Even a F7/F9/F10, which writes half a line of text/sat, with satbase.tle for a 0:04 time span, takes over 30 minutes. If run minimized, or in windowed mode, it takes 15 seconds (969 passes predicted), but those are no options for graphic output! IridFlar (and other DOS programs) are not affected, as far as I have had time to test. Can these problems be related, in the SkyMap uses special text/graphics modes, that are not well supported in some applications AND some hardware-O/S combinations? If I can't solve this problem, can SkyMap be modified to produce the HPGL plot file WITHOUT displaying anything on the screen, so I can inspect or print it with PrintGL ? /Björn ----- Original Message ----- > > I had this problem trying to get screenshots of SKYSAT running > > Win2000/NT4.
