[QUOTE="Justin, post: 4001509, member: 21262"] That's the thing, I can't even seem to get a screenshot of the problem, and I'm even having a hard time trying to figure out how to even explain the behavior I'm seeing. But here's an attempt... PowerDVD (PDVD) is running in a small (non-maximized) window in the center of the screen, taking up about 1/6th of the whole screen. I take a screen shot using Alt-PrtScn, capturing to the Windows buffer. Open MSPaint. Ctrl-V to paste. MSPaint opens maximized and the resulting pasted image is at the top left corner of the MSPaint window. However, most of the pasted image is black, except for the bottom right corner of it, which is showing the top left corner of the video that was running in PDVD. Now here's where it gets weird. Imagine you're watching a DVD on TV and it is paused. Additionally, the video on screen only takes up part of the screen, centered. You have a piece of paper that is the size of the TV screen but there is a rectangular hole in it the same size as the video in the center of the screen. You move the paper around and thus only see the part of the video that falls within the area of the hole - the rest of what you see through the hole is the blackness that is the rest of the TV screen. That's what I'm seeing when in MSPaint and moving that window around. However, PDVD is minimized, so outside the MSPaint window, I see my normal Windows desktop (icons, background pic of hot dancer chick, etc.). But even when not minimized, I still see the rest of my desktop, not just blackness like I see through the hole in the MSPaint image. It's almost like the screenshot of the PDVD window *remembers* the whole paused image and shows the portion that would be on the screen when PDVD is unminimized, relative to where the pasted PDVD window is on the screen. This would somehow mean that the video buffer is still somehow tied to the PDVD image in MSPaint. If that makes any sense, or anyone wants to try to replicate this problem (any DVD will probably work), please let me know. This is driving me crazy! Thanks, Justin [/QUOTE]
