Q. Multiple Screen capture images ?

Hi,

I want to be able to set up a buffer that holds about 30 or 40 of my
screen captures ( pressing the Prt Scrn) key, instead of just one, as
is the case with the clip board, whenever I hit the Prt Scrn key.

I imagine such a software that could run in memory, until I'm ready to
shudown my Windows would only impose on my memory space, as I've added
extra RAM recently.

Please advise,

Jim

SRip32, but you will not be able to just hit the prt Scrn key.
For each capture you will have to be fast and efficient.

You could consider a program like X-shot. It's a handy and versatile
screen capture program; and one of its features is that you can set it
to automatically capture screenshots at any interval you choose.
If you'd like to check it out; unfortunately, the site is in German,
but there is an English version of the program there.

Thanks, trout. Looks good to me. Downloading now.

No, X- Shot won't truly do what I need.
I need a way to keep hitting the prt scrn key and save the images on
demand. X-shot can do it to an extent,but there sure is a lag between
the program pops up for you to hit 'screenshot' button again.

Xshots timer function is cool, but I simply cant use it like that.

Is there a way for me to program the prt scrn key on my Windows 2000 ?
If so, what program would be best ?

Thanks for all suggestions,
Jim

Boomer,

Thanks, I'll go through them one by one, to see which will work best
for me, but I suspect they'll each be similar in performance to X-shot
which is not bad.

I have tried several Windows2000 newsgroups.

Thanks for the help/suggestions,

Jim
