I have just installed my PSP 8 on a new computer with Windows Vista and am 
having a small problem with PSP's screen capture.  I choose 'area' and then 
go to the other program, say, a stamp catalogue, and define an area for 
capture.  Every time, in the middle of the area - usually a stamp - I get 
the size in pixels of the area, e,g, 100x150.  This sizing is caught in the 
capture which makes the picture of the stamp utterly useless.  I never had 
this problem on my old XP machine.  Is it some setting I am missing?  Thanks 
in advance for any assistance.

It may be a Vista compatibility issue.  One workaround would be to simply 
go the the program with the image you wish to capture and use the Print 
Screen button on your keyboard to capture the screen then, in PSP, CTRL+V 
to paste it as a new image in PSP.  Then you can make a selection and new 
image from any area of the screen capture that you wish.

Thanks Joe.  You know, after a lot of experimenting and frustration, what 
you suggested is exactly what I ended up doing.  Works perfectly.  Thanks 
again!

PSP 8 and 10 have the same screen capture issue as you mention above.
PSP 9 for some reason I have no problem with the screen capture??
