Running whatever it is you need to capture in a virtual machine can also make it easier. For example, I have done some writing about Ubuntu. I ran it in a Virtual PC, then I could drop down a list or menu and position the mouse cursor nicely on it, then Right-Alt to switch out of the virtual ma

Screenshot v7 deluxe does timed captures. (The current version is 8.) Not that I've tried it... So I just did and it worked reasonably well except that when I chose to capture the mouse pointer, it seemed to pick up the pointer state at the time I started the timed capture and did not change re

I'm a big fan of HardCopy Pro - Been using it since '91 - I like it cause it's: 1. SMALL 2. can save in many formats 3. can rework the resolution / colour depth with one click. 4. taking over my print-screen button on a daily basis ! http://www.desksoft.com HTH ! Mondo Mondo Regards [Bill] --

The GIMP will do screen captures but I wouldn't necessarily call it quick and easy to annotate unless you're already familiar with it. But it's free. I've also used a program called ScreenShot from Broderbund for years. You can set hot keys for different types of captures, annotate, etc. Paul
