One Possible Solution

For those of you suffering from missing Spotlight, clock, applescript menu, etc... the culprit is quite possibly the "Front Row hack" that has been bouncing around the web lately. Replace the following files with backups of old ones:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/BezelServices.framework/
/System/Library/LoginPlugins/BezelServices.loginPlugin/
And remove this:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app
Finally, reboot. This has fixed problems on more than one machine I administer.
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

No, it didn't work. After buying my MacBook Pro I updated everything including QT. As a result QT 7.2 simply didn't play any of my divx avi files. Before adopting the rude way, I obviously tried to update/replace all of the components including: Perian, DivX, Flip4mac. No way. I then forced a downgrade to ver. 7.1.6 using Pacifist (a package manager) and as a result I put the hole system in danger. It was in a total state of malfunction. I had to restore the system with the cd. Fortunately it kept my home! But I now run ver 7.1.6 and I do NOT have any intention to update it. I use Pro so I don't have any necessity of full screen support or else. Maybe if Apple will release a stable version I will consider the update. But for now, "nowing it is not installing it".

Safari hanging up? Here's one possible solution.

This report contains one possible solution to Safari hanging up on certain web pages.
Over the past couple of days, my PowerMac G4 started hanging up when I attempted to load certain pages from CareerBuilder.com.
The bottom of those CareerBuilder.com pages always reported that only xx of yy items (say, 32 of 37 items) were completed, then the spinning ball would appear, indicating that Safari had hung up, requiring me to Force Quit it. Those same CareerBuilder.com pages did not cause Safari on my iMac G5 nor my MacBook Pro to hang up, so I concluded that something had gone awry with Safari on the PowerMac G4 only.
Since other postings related to this topic appear to require a Crash Log to analyze what is going on, I checked for a Crash Log both via Console and by searching for one in the Crash Report folder, but there was none to be found there.
I tried pasting the "Problem Details" report that resulted from my most recent Force Quit, but whenever I tried to Post the Message, I would get a message telling me that "We're sorry, Apple Discussions is temporarily unavailable. We'll be back soon." Other users have reported getting the same message, perhaps because the clipboard contains way too much text. I suppose I could have chopped that long Problem Details report into pieces and passed its information along that way, but I'm not sure that the Problem Details report gives quite the same analytical information as a Crash Report. Besides, from what I could glean, the myriad of well-meaning solutions that were offered seldom, if ever, appeared to cure the problems users were reporting.
Instead, I took a cue from a guy who reported in another thread on Apple Discussions that he cured Safari from hanging by disabling Java and JavaScript in Safari's preferences. That seemed efficient and reasonable, so I implemented his solution.
It seemed to work at first, but a short time after disabling Java and JavaScript, the Mac froze up. I could not access any open applications, nor could I force quit anything. My only choice was to press the power on button for over five seconds to force the computer to shut down. Exhausted from trouble-shooting, we both took a long nap after that. (Recommended trouble-shooting step.)
Upon refresh and restart, I launched Safari. It was now able to access the page in CareerBuilder.com which was causing the hang. However, because JavaScript was now disabled, I could no longer see the rollover button function on my own portfolio website, nor could I see who had visited my website at StatCounter.com, a web analytic service I use to monitor web traffic.
I wanted those abilities back.
So, with tabs open to both the offending CareerBuilder.com page and to StatCounter.com, I re-enabled JavaScript. When I refreshed the StatCounter.com page, the previously unavailable data updated fine. When I refreshed the Career-Builder.com page, all 96 of 96 items updated fine: most importantly, the page did not cause Safari to stall, as it had consistently been doing before.
I switched back to the StatCounter.com page, I enabled Java, and I refreshed that page. No issues to complain about there. I moved back to the problematic CareerBuilder.com page, and I refreshed that page. Safari re-loaded all 96 items again—this time pausing momentarily to report "1 error"—without hanging up.
I cannot know for sure, but perhaps the Java programming "error" contained on that CareerBuilder.com page was the trigger for causing Safari to hang up. Perhaps there was nothing wrong with my Safari configuration after all. This explanation is plausible, because the only hangs Safari has experienced over the past couple of days have occurred on two different CareerBuilder.com pages.
Thirty minutes later, refreshing that same problematic CareerBuilder.com page resulted in only 80 of 81 items being completed, as a new bunch of advertising messages cluttered up the page. Perhaps that one item which failed to load is related to that "error," which continues to be reported. However, at least the page is no longer stalling Safari.
In any event, these were the steps that "cured" the problem of Safari hanging:
1) In Safari preferences, disable Java and Java Script.
2) Shut down the computer.
3) Take a long nap while the computer is powered OFF.
4) Restart the computer and relaunch Safari.
5) Optional: Enable Java Script, then Java, if certain sites require them to be enabled for full functionality.
6) Optional: Visit pages that had caused Safari to hang, and see if Safari functions fully on those pages.
I have no technical understanding of what may have caused Safari to hang in the first place, or if switching Java and Java Script off and then back on, is the true solution to the problem. Maybe letting the computer take a long, overdue nap did the trick! I had been placing it in Sleep mode for several days, so it's missed a good shut down and re-boot routine.
But I am pragmatic about success, so I am merely reporting what worked for me and what I did. Your mileage may vary.
I will monitor the situation and report any future Safari hangs should they occur, since that might be an indication that the problem was not related to Java or Java Script at all.

Fixing slow startup--one possible solution

I had a very frustrating week last week. Logging-in took forever, with several minutes of blue-screen before finally having a live computer. Once started-up there were no problems. This was purely a phenomenon of the startup process. Went through reams of console logs, removed tons of drivers (in the process I got rid of a lot of junk), but no fix. Built up a new hard drive with nothing on it but Snow Leopard. Same problem. I dug through the forums here, finding many similar problems with solutions all over the map, but none of them helped. Then finally...
The solution was simple. I have a number of external USB drives that I use for occasional archiving. They're usually powered-down, and it's rare that more than one is even plugged into the computer. But if that drive is the right drive (actually the WRONG drive), you'll have a problem just like mine.
USB always delivers a bit of power to a connected device--even if that device uses a wall-wart. If circumstances are just right, that little bit of power is enough to partially bring the device to life--enough for the computer to think something is there and enough for the device to misbehave. This was my problem. The solution was simple: for any device with its own power supply just leave the USB cable disconnected until you actually plan to use the device.
Like any debugging situation this is painfully obvious, if only in retrospect. Hope this little story saves somebody else some time.

There are many teething issues with the N96-1 currently. check to see that you have the latest software for your device by going here http://www.nokia.com/softwareupdate and following the instructions.
The latest version is 11.101
Otherwise rumour has it a radically improved version is on it's way and hopefully this will solve your issue. although in my experience the phone will always work best when messages are on the C: Drive

Blurred text - one possible solution

I know a lot of people, myself included, have had trouble importing Keynote slide presentations into iDVD, the main problem being the text blurring.
I might have a bit of a solution.
In Keynote, select the title slide and open the 'Document' tab of the 'Inspector'. Switch the size to something like 800 x 600 [try other sizes and you may get something better]. Then go to the 'Export' function and select the 'Images' tab and export as 'Tiff' format.
Once in iDVD, import all of the Tiff images [one for each slide] to movie insert. When burning to DVD, select 'Professional Quality' in the 'Project Info' box.
I found this works much better. Hope it helps.
Cheers...>Scotty

Scotty,
Just remember that DVDs are lower resolution devices (640x480 square pixels NTSC) than computer monitors so make sure you aren't trying to 'cram' too much text information on each slide.

YouTube login & linking problems - one possible solution

Rather than add this comment to one of the several topics concerning YouTube login and account linking problems, I'm starting this topic to isolate this particular problem and the solution that worked for me.
* SKIP TO LAST LINE FOR MY SOLUTION ->
The problem I experienced surfaced when I first tried to upload a video to YouTube from my iPhone 4. YouTube would no longer accept my YouTube password. My YouTube account was linked to my gmail.com account. Having read some of the suggestions in other threads, I unlinked the two accounts, but that did not help matters.
I signed out of the YouTube app in order to sign back in, as suggested elsewhere, but then I could no longer sign in to the YouTube app.
So I tried shutting down my iPhone and starting it up again, as was also suggested elsewhere. That didn't help.
So, exasperated, I went to the YouTube site and tried to change my YouTube account password to itself - and therein lay the solution! YouTube told me the password has to be 5 to 20 characters long and my (old) password was only 4 (because I had created my YouTube account long ago before they had that requirement.)
Once I set a new password that was long enough to satisfy this requirement, I was able to login to the YouTube app just fine and everything is working.
* The solution -> MAKE SURE YOUR YouTube PASSWORD IS LONGER THAN 4 CHARACTERS

Dv5 / dv6 / dv7 webcam not detected - one (possible) solution

There are SO many posts on webcams - here is something for those of you who no longer have warranties and need help.
Background:
I just purchased a new dv7 - no webcam detected! I tried everything I could think of and ended up sending the system in for service last week. Tech hinted that the connection may be loose (not the end at the mother board, the other end, next to the camera). Sad, that. I am still pawing through the posts looking to see if I'd missed anything that I could have tried.
Found this post all the way back from February 2011 from NotBuggy - Read on: this solution might work for you:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/Windows-7-64-bit-Webcam-Drivers-for-dv5t-1000/td-p/46...
NotBuggy's first post descibes the initial issue. At the bottom of that post is the "Solution" link. For those interested, there may be helpful hints from other members in the answers NotBuggy received.
As NotBuggy says, this is not for the "faint of heart" - you will need to take apart your system and risk damage. Proceed only if other avenues are closed.
Good Luck!
Kind Regards,
Dragon-Fur

webcam not detected I have reinstalled the driver for the webcam but the issue persists with an error saying "No Webcam Detected". I have been to the device manager and the webcam is not listed there .I would like to know
how to get this fixed please. Thank you very much.

Possible Solution to Google Search Bar Not Working/Safari Not Loading Pages

Hello Apple Forums,
I have recently encountered a possible solution to a problem with Safari. The one in which Safari fails to load any page associated with www.google.com. Especially the Google Search Bar—a feature I use frequently.
After browsing through the forums about the Google Search Bar issue, I took my knewly gained knowledge, and decided to do some diagnosing for myself.
This is what I have done so far to try and solve this issue:
Run Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Cron Scripts
Cleared the following caches:
System Local Computer Cache
System VM (Swap) Files
Curent User Cache
Current User Icon Cache
Internet Explorer Download Cache
Page History
Web Site Cache
Temporary Files
Safari Downloads List
Form Values
Page History
Recent Searches
Site Icons
Web Site Cache
User Cookies (used by Safari)
Finder Recent Applications
Recent Documents
Recent Folders
Recent Servers
Recent Files of AppleWorks 6
Disk Utility Disk Images
Preview
QuickTime Player Favorites/Recent
REALbasic Projects
TextEdit
VideoLanClient
and Other caches of Acquisition Current Downloads
Acquisition Recent Searches
MSN Conversation History
Vicomsoft FTP Client Icon Cache
All of the above runnings of Cron scripts and clearings of Caches were done using Mac Pilot version 1.1.5 (yes the one on the site is an updated version, but I have not downloaded it yet). If you decide to use this program to clear caches, I advise not clearing the Installer Receipts under the System section as Installer Receipts are used to correctly repair permissions. I do not clear Find File Indexes either, because I use the Find File feature quite frequently on my computer and I do not want to have it re-index files all the time (perhaps I'll do it every few months or so to refresh what I've got on the harddrive). Remember, all the information given in this paragraph is relative to Mac Pilot version 1.1.5.
In addition, I have also repaired permissions using Disk Utility 10.4.4 (v145.7) (make sure you restart your computer after you repair permissions). I have taken out items in /harddrive/library/StartUpItems as well as taking out items in /harddrive/library/Internet Plug-Ins and in /user/library/Internet Plug-Ins and in user/library/Caches (restart your computer after taking out or putting in items in these locations).
As of now, all the information mentioned above about trying to fix this problem have NOT worked.
What HAS WORKED for me was tinkering with my 3rd party firewall—Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48). Under the Protection Settings, I HAD Enable Active FTB support, Enable Stealth mode, Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic selected), Enable UDP Protection (with Protect outgoing UDP connections, Allow access to essential services, and Protect a range of UDP ports 1 through 1023 selected).
What I CHANGED in Protection Settings was DESELECT Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic DESELECTED). Upon deselecting that information the Google Search Bar feature in Safari WORKED practically instantaneously. Before hand, anything I inputted into Safari and after hitting Return on the keyboard just wound up hanging there.
Just to be sure, all tests were performed on:
IMac G4 800 Mhz SD Mac OSX 10.3.9 with ALL the latest Software Updates, Except Apple Remote Desktop Client version 1.2.4 and iPod Updater 2006-01-10
I have a cable internet connection with ISP Time Warner Cable (RoadRunner) using a SurfBoard SB4100 Cable Modem on an AirPort Extreme Base Station (Apple Base Station V5.6)
Interesting side note: I have a PowerBook G4 15" 1 Ghz Mac OSX 10.3.9 Laptop running on the same network (although it has an airport extreme card as opposed to the regular airport card in the iMac) with ALL the same latest Software Updates, Except iPod Updater 2006-01-10. The Apple Remote Desktop Client version 1.2.4 does not come up on Software Update on the Laptop and I can not find it on the harddrive using a name search in the Finder Find feature. It does not show up in Applications folder, so I do not know if it is on or active on the Laptop.
The LAPTOP IS ABLE TO USE ALL GOOGLE FEATURES without DESELECTING Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic DESELECTED). Why this is apparent I have not officially confirmed.
What I do know is that I have tried to Uninstall Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48) with the appropriate uninstaller but it FAILS during the uninstall (I wanted to uninstall and reinstall, it appears the program became corrupted). What I did to possibly circumvent this was to search for the phrase 'Personal Fire" using the Finder's Find feature (Search for items whose name contains 'Personal Fire') and deleted all the files that came up related to Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48). I then reinstalled Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48) since then, and it continues to have the problem with Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic selected).
What I have not done:
Updated Prebinding
Run TechTool Pro version 4.1.2
Install Combo OSX 10.3.9
Initialize HardDrive with complete reinstallation of OSX 10.3.9
To Summarize Possible Solution
I've tried many possible solutions, what appears to work best as of now is to DESELECT Enable suspicious activity protection (making sure Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic are deselected) under Protection Settings in Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48).
One could try deselecting something similar in any firewall application other than Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48), to see if it is suspicious activity settings in firewalls that cause the problem.
Any comments/feedbacks are extremely welcome.
Hope It Helps!

Hello tr:
Welcome to Apple discussions and thank you for your very very thorough post.
Your instincts to delete anything named "Norton" were right on the mark. Norton software is POISON to Macs running OS X. An additional software firewall is, IMHO, completely unnecessary. Turn on the built-in firewall in OS X - it is robust. In fact, if it is already on, there may be a conflict.
Go to Symantec's web site and use the uninstaller you should find there to get rid of the Norton stuff. After you do that, do a "find" on Norton and Symantec to be sure it is all gone - the stuff hides everywhere.

OS X 10.9 freeze when WiFi is turned off (POSSIBLE SOLUTION)

Hi, I just found a possible solution for this problem: my MacBook Pro freeze completely (without the spinning beach ball) after I turn off WiFi.
I have a MacBook Pro 17 inch late 2007 (MacBookPro3,1 - A1229), with a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB card, running OS X 10.9.
What happened:
- I updated the OS from 10.8.4 to 10.8.5
- My Mac started freezing everytime after login, I don't remember if WiFi was on or off
- Reverted back 10.8.4, thank you Time Machine!
- Updated to OS X 10.9
- Everything was OK, but then I did some work in my home and I had to turn off the modem
- Modem was off, so I decided to turn off also the AirPort card on my MacBook Pro
- After a couple of seconds my computer completely stopped responding, trackpad and keyboard were useless, the UI froze
- After pressing the power button I managed to shutdown the Mac and then start it up again
- Now after the startup process I was stuck in loop: WiFi was still off and I had few seconds to login, wait for my account to load and turn on WiFi from the menubar icon; I failed countless times!
- In an attempt to slow down the Mac and earn some more seconds I did a PRAM reset and logged in with the Shift key pressed (after typing my password)
- I managed to turn WiFi on and looked immediatly for clues on Console logs:

(Last line is me powering the Mac on, after a forced shutdown; for some reason some lines have been lost forever: before the last one, there were some more "awacsd ... KV HTTP 0")
This is what happen to my Mac when I turn off the AirPort card; I don't know if "Google Drive" or "libdispatch client" are the problem, but quitting Google Drive solved this madness.
Hope this helps.

I'm experiencing a similar issue.
In my case, a conflicting kext (kernel extension) from a vitual machine (VirtualBox) was causing an immediate freeze after turning Wi-Fi off. After disabling the kext's scripts, I can now disable Wi-Fi safely but if I reboot then the system hangs at radom instances of boot sequence (for example while showing the apple logo, or at the login screen or a few seconds after entering the password).
I can only boot in single user mode (command-option-S) so after looking around a way to turn on WiFi from the command line, I ended up using a daemon (boot script) that turns on WiFi before anything else happens (at least as soon as the airport card is running).
In any case, I left the instructions here, just for reference.
The script should be created in /Library/LaunchDaemons
It can have any name with "plist" extension, I choosen "com.fixwifi.wifion.plist"
To create the file type: nano /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.fixwifi.wifion.plist
Enter the following text (it's a lot of text, I know, but it is better than nothing):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
 <key>Label</key>
 <string>com.fixwifi.wifion</string>
 <key>RunAtLoad</key>
 <true/>
 <key>KeepAlive</key>
 <dict>
 <key>SuccesfulExit</key>
 <false/>
 </dict>
 <key>ProgramArguments</key>
 <array>
 <string>networksetup</string>
 <string>-setairportpower</string>
 <string>en1</string>
 <string>on</string>
 </array>
 <key>StartInterval</key>
 <integer>2</integer>
</dict>
</plist>
When finished, type "ctrl-x", then "y" to save and enter. Reboot.
This script will:
- try to power on the en1 interface as soon as the script loads
- if it fails (because the interface is not running yet), will try to turn it on every two seconds
- once the interface is on (exit is succesful), then unload the script.
Note that this script assumes the airport interface is named "en1". It can also work with the word "airport" (at least in my tests).
Good luck!

Possible solution if you can't install Acrobat 9 Pro via CS4 Installer

(Thanks to Paul_Belza for this idea.)
Symptoms:
Acrobat 9 is grayed out in the Setup window of Creative Suite 4 installer.
Opening the carat reveals an incorrect explanation of: "Acrobat 9 is already installed."
You have more than one hard drive attached with an OS X install that has had prior Acrobat installs on it.
Possible Solution:
Unmount all drives except your current startup drive and try again.
Discussion:
Apparently, the Acrobat prior install scanner is not very picky about where it finds a prior install. It searchs any and all drives rather than just the current startup drive and/or the currently chosen install drive. In my case, I had a clone of my start drive so I could start the arduos process of making a manual deployment setup.
Since I was previously involved in the CS4 beta, I wasn't too phased when I initially encountered issues on this machine, but much less pleased when I ran all the official uninstallers, cleaners etc and it still claimed Acrobat 9 was installed. Eventually stumbled on Paul Belza's note that the scanner is indiscriminate, unmounted my additional backup drive and all was immediately well.
(Note: During the process, I also came across the fact that with a volume license Acrobat 9 Pro can be installed simply by mounting the extensions/Acrobat9_es.dmg (whatever it is called exactly) and dragging the folder into your Applications folder. As long as you have previously installed a CS4 app (so it doesn't hang at the serial number screen), it will self-repair and be ready for use.

Not sure it will help, but try it when logged in as the administrator and with anti-virus turned off. As far as error numbers, must of us have no clue (there seems to be a list at Adobe, but we don't work there.

When I try backing up to icloud it says that I have gone over the free 5gb. It shows that I have 4.6 gb of pictures in my camera roll when I barely have over 200 pictures! Any similiar problems or possible solutions?

You're welcome. Given the number of people who seem to have problems restoring photos from their backup I wouldn't trust the iCloud backup for my photos anyway. I always import them to my computer at least weekly. That way I know I have them.
You might want to check out the app PhotoSync. It makes this pretty easy as it transfers them to your computer wirelessly and keeps track of which ones have already been transferred.

[woffle]
yesterday i found that for whatever reason a lot of apps stop working ,
and instead started complaining about libc.so..6 having an invalid ELF Header... [?] i dunno, that was before and after the upgrade to the 2.5 version...
anyay, i googled it and found a few random users with this problem, so i knew it had nothign to do with anything.. prolly just the unlucky ones lol..
[possible solution]
anways... i managed to fix it [i think] by linking /usr/lib/libc.so.6 to /lib/libc.so.*2.5 instead of /usr/lib/libc.so
[add]
/usr/lib/libc.so is an ld-script btw. duno if it should be that way..
i'd file a bug report, but as i said.. it just happened out of teh blue, i did no sys up/down-grades , compiles, nothing... apart form install kdebase to get kate...

Hi Florin,
Check person type useage also. coz When Employee.Ex-Applicant' person type changes to 'Employee.Applicant', no other actions can be processed for that person.

PrintWindow api with possible solution for capture screenshot Google Chrome window

Hi,
as all you know, PrintWindow api give us a black image when us want a capture screenshot of Google Chrome window. So, a friend said me that a possible solution for this problem is:
Reduce Google Chrome window for -1px in both sides and after this, reset to original size. And so, will repaint again.
Based on code below, someone could help me make this? sincerely I don't know where begin.
[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
static extern IntPtr FindWindow(string lpClassName, string lpWindowName);
[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
static extern IntPtr FindWindowEx(IntPtr hwndParent, IntPtr hwndChildAfter, string lpszClass, string lpszWindow);
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern IntPtr GetDC(IntPtr WindowHandle);
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern void ReleaseDC(IntPtr WindowHandle, IntPtr DC);
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern IntPtr GetWindowRect(IntPtr WindowHandle, ref Rect rect);
[DllImport("User32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
static extern bool PrintWindow(IntPtr hwnd, IntPtr hDC, uint nFlags);
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
private struct Rect
public int Left;
public int Top;
public int Right;
public int Bottom;
public static Bitmap Capture(IntPtr handle)
Rect rect = new Rect();
GetWindowRect(handle, ref rect);
Bitmap Bmp = new Bitmap(rect.Right - rect.Left, rect.Bottom - rect.Top);
Graphics memoryGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(Bmp);
IntPtr dc = memoryGraphics.GetHdc();
bool success = PrintWindow(handle, dc, 0);
memoryGraphics.ReleaseHdc(dc);
return Bmp;
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
IntPtr WindowHandle = FindWindowEx(IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, "Chrome_WidgetWin_1", null);
Bitmap BMP = Capture(WindowHandle);
BMP.Save("C:\\Foo.bmp");
BMP.Dispose();
Any suggestions here is appreciated.

Hello,
I would prefer capture the screen rather than get it from that application directly.
It has been discussed in the following thread.
Is there any way to hide Chrome window and capture a screenshot or convert the Chrome window to image?
In this case, you could remove the line "ShowWindowAsync(mainHandle, 0); " since you don't want to hide it.
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern bool ShowWindowAsync(IntPtr hWnd, int nCmdShow);
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public static extern bool GetWindowRect(IntPtr hWnd, out RECT lpRect);
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public static extern bool PrintWindow(IntPtr hWnd, IntPtr hdcBlt, int nFlags);
public WhateverMethod()
//initialize process and get hWnd
Process chrome = Process.Start("chrome.exe","http://www.cnn.com");
//wait for chrome window to open AND page to load (important for process refresh)
//you might need to increase the sleep time for the page to load or monitor the "loading" title on Chrome
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(4000);
chrome.Refresh();
IntPtr mainHandle = chrome.MainWindowHandle;
RECT rc;
GetWindowRect(mainHandle, out rc);
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(rc.Width, rc.Height, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
Graphics gfxBmp = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);
IntPtr hdcBitmap = gfxBmp.GetHdc();
PrintWindow(mainHandle, hdcBitmap, 0);
gfxBmp.ReleaseHdc(hdcBitmap);
gfxBmp.Dispose();
bmp.Save("c:\\temp\\test.png", ImageFormat.Png);
ShowWindowAsync(mainHandle, 0);

public static bool operator ==(RECT Rectangle1, RECT Rectangle2)
return Rectangle1.Equals(Rectangle2);
public static bool operator !=(RECT Rectangle1, RECT Rectangle2)
return !Rectangle1.Equals(Rectangle2);
public override string ToString()

return ToString().GetHashCode();
public bool Equals(RECT Rectangle)

public override bool Equals(object Object)
if (Object is RECT)
return Equals((RECT)Object);
else if (Object is Rectangle)
return Equals(new RECT((Rectangle)Object));
return false;
And the key method used is the one shared in
Get a screenshot of a specific application.
