    Reported Capture Setting Not Working

    Hi,
    I use a Laptop (Lenovo) and attached a Dell 27 inch Monitor.
    With Version 4.5:
    "Capture" seems to ignore all settings and returns allways an image of both screens - which is quite large.
    I have tried different parameters etc. but no change
    This is independent from the screen which was used to start capture.
    I used capture quite often so I wonder what can be done.

    Version 4.44 (on the same machine) works properly...

    Thanks

    What settings are you using?

    Without using IrfanView at all, PrintScreen captures all monitors.

    For better control over screen grabs get yourself a free copy of FastStone Capture (ver 5.3 was the last freeware version)

    If you use it as often as I do, it is well worth the $20 for a lifetime license. It launches on starting Windows, so you can do screen captures without launching IrfanView.

    To avoid conflicts with IrfanView shortcuts, focus a text edit area on the Toolbar.

      Problem with capture

      Hi,
      Thank you for responding.
      To answer your questions first:
      - I use Windows 10 / 64 bit, Irfan 4.4 32 bit and Irfan 4.5 64 bit
      - I have a registered version and as far as I know also a license
      I got it on May 2016. See attachment
      I agree absolutely that this is worth the fee
      I have also recommended to others (including the licence)
      Unfortunately I can not find the confirmation mail anymore, only a
      - I used the 4.4 Version to capture the Configs of the 64-bit version
      See attachment. This works obsiously fine.
      - Using the same configs with the 64-bit version ignores the config
      (actually any config I tested) and redurns both monitors.
      - I did not understand what you meant by the last remark - focus a text edit...
      I have used it with several different shortcuts, but no effect.
      Anyway thank you
      Reinhold

          Option 2 -- Current Monitor

          - It simply ignores the selection - Version 4.4 works.
          Could it be an issue not with Irfan but with the new OS? I have the current version of Windows 10 64bit PRO

            Unlicensed version is identical to licensed version. A license is required for commercial use, that is the only difference.

            Option 2) works fine for me. Maybe it is an issue with your graphics drivers?

            * Primary Monitor is 1200x1600 portrait
            * Secondary Monitor is 1280 x 1024 landscape

            The screen shot taken depends on where the mouse cursor is focused.

            I am using the latest Windows Update 1709 64-bit.

            I did not understand what you meant by the last remark - focus a text edit...
            This refers to using FastStone Capture. Its shortcuts can conflict with those for IrfanView, but focusing a text area in the toolbars before using the shortcut prevents the IrfanView shortcut from working.
