Problems with Window Screen Grabs?

Hey,
Any idea what the problem could be? When I screen grab a fullscreen window by typing "Command > Shift > 4 > Space" the resulting screenshot has the right hand edge cut off. Seems to happen in all apps. It only happens when an app window is full screen or maximized (or a little smaller - about 20px on each edge). Using Grab or Preview to capture works but those apps don't capture the alpha-blended window shadow.

I'm able to reproduce the issue as well with images at full, or near full, screen.
My guess is that OS X will only take screenshots as large as the screen resolution, and when capturing the window shadow it is adding ~30 px to the outside of the image, thus pushing it off the edge.

Problem with SAP Screen

Not sure if this is the correct forum.
Okies, a user of mine has a problem with her SAP screens. It seems that she can't view the full screen of CJ20N She has to drag the window bigger to be able to see the content. She uses this window in a split monitor view, i.e. some of the applications are displaying on the laptop window while other applications display on the monitor.
Details of her SAPGUI:
Release 640 Final
File version: 6404.4.16.1015
Build: 774474
Patch Level : 16
Do note that her primary monitor (notebook) is always set to 1280x800 and the secondary monitor is set to 1024x768. Anyone encounter this problem before?

Hi,
This is problem with windows screen resolution. Better to use, maximum supported window size and make sure to use same size for both the screens.

I need to do a window screen grab, of the contents of a window with nothing else appearing-

I wish to do a window screen grab, but without any Shadow and without any window Chrome ( without the header or footer of any OSX window )
- only the contents of the window should appear in the screen grab.
What is the terminal command to so this?
I know about this for getting rid / enabling shadows in a screen grab -
defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool false
followed by this
killall SystemUIServer
…but there is also a command to get rid of window chrome from a screen grab
when doing command - shift - 4 and then pressing space and then clicking on a window.
This picture is what I don't want - no scoll bars no header. I just want the inner window - nothing else.
Thanks in advance. I have searched high and low - my laptop does it ok - I just cannot find the command any more.
Steve

rmgman,
This requires no more complexity than the usual Apple-Shift-4, then press space, then move your mouse to highlight a window and click to grab.
( after you have set up the disable chrome option in terminal - similar to disable shadow )
( You only need to do this once )
defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool TRUE
and
killall SystemUIServer
Thank you for your reply and time all the same.

Ratpoison: Problems with windows autoscaling and conky statusbar

Hi all!
I am newbie with ratpoison and yesterday made fresh installation. Everyting else did well expect window autoscaling and conky + dzen2 statusbar.
What I did:
I followed those steps from archwiki for setting up dzen: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dzen
my .conkyrc looks like a same as in the wiki:
background no
out_to_console yes
out_to_x no
update_interval 1.0
total_run_times 0
use_spacer none
TEXT
^fg(\#ff0000)${loadavg 1 2 3} ^fg()${time %a %b %d %I:%M%P}
my .xinitrc looks like:
#!/bin/bash
FG='#aaaaaa'
BG='#1a1a1a'
FONT='-*-terminus-*-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*'
conky | dzen2 -e - -h '16' -w '600' -ta r -fg $FG -bg $BG -fn $FONT
feh --bg-scale /home/tetrao/walls/hn.jpg &
# setup urxvtd daemon
urxvtc "$@"

So I did 16 pixels hole for the conky statusbar. Still I cannot see anything on the top of screen. (Just empty hole)
Problem with windows autoscaling is that it doesn't fullfill whole screen. I can also see two additional small holes at the bottom and right side of screen (eventhought I didn't made those by the config). Strange isn't it?
I put my print screen, hope it tells more about the problem:
What I should to do text? Edit some files, but I dunno which one and how?
I appreciate your help.
Cheers!

About the small holes, see "Why is there a small gap between my terminal and the edge of the screen?" in the ratpoison FAQ.
I'm not sure about your dzen/conky problem, maybe you need to "unmanage" its window? See the ratpoison documentation.
That fixed autoscaling issue. Thx a lot!
Any ideas, what is wrong with dzen+conky bar? I quickly read ratpoison manual and didn't find any help for this problem.

Problem with windows and my monitor in after effects

HI . before any thing excuse me for speeking english.
i have a problem with windows in after effect in my monitor
my monitor is 15.6 and resolution is 1366*768
for example when i open interpret footage window i can't see that complete and amount of size window dont visible.
Thanks.

Your system doesn't meet the requirements and that is that. AE has required 900 pixel height ever since CS4. Other than changing your screen res or shuffling around windows there is nothing you can do.

I installed lv 6.1 on a windows 98 system. As I am having problems of stability (much more than with the former release 6.0), I would like to know if there is some specific problem with windows 98 or there is some patch.

I installed lv 6.1 on a windows 98 system. As I am having problems of stability (frequent crashes, much more than with the former release 6.0), I would like to know if there is some specific problem with windows 98 or there is some patch available.

My experience with Win98 is that it is not a very stable system, regardless of software used. For example, Win2000 and XP are far more stable than 98. I've had it crash on its own if I leave the computer on for several days.
I wouldn't recommend running programs for long time (few days) on this OS.
This being said, can you be more specific in your question. What kind of stability problems did you have, which VIs did you run (if possible post them here), did you change the interrupts and priority levels on those VI, do you get error messages or blue screen....

6 Problems with windows 8.1

Hello,
first sorry for my bad English. I have problems with windows 8.1 and it really annoying me.
1) I can't change lock screen picture. It freezing for 2-3 seconds when I'm trying to change it and nothing happened.
2) I can't browser files from metro apps. It crash and restart.
3) Picture password doesn't work with me. The windows freeze.
4) Facebook app disappeared and if I try to install it. It disappear again.
5) Task manager sometimes freezes for 6-7 seconds when I close it.
6) Randomly when I am using the PC, it will blue screen with usually the following error : Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_or_Equal

Hi,
Did your system activated? The lockscreen picture problem probably caused by activation problem. For other problem, it is probably driver problem. You can try to reinstall computer driver for test.
In addition, If you installed any security software, please try uninstall them for test.

HP 250 G3 - problems with Windows 10 boot

I have problems with Windows 10 boot on my HP 250 G3. It often shutdown during boot. But boot is ok with Windows 8.1. Please release upgrade that solve this problem.

Guys this might be solution: Turn off your laptop. Disconnect all devices connected to the PC. Remove battery and disconnect from wall. Press the power button at least 20 seconds. Connect back battery and turn on your PC. It should be fixed by now, I did with my Pavilion 14, and both sleep and turning off problems were fixed.re: Black Screen and Dead keyboard after locking computer. I tried this with my Envy 17t-3200 3D CTO. Didn't help. for this computer this means removing the back cover and unplugging the battery wiring harness form the Motherboard. I currently have sleep mode disabled when on AC and am still getting the black screen, dead keyboard lockup. I really know I'm hosed since even the caps-lock is non-functional. I see this problem more when I'm at work were I tend to Win-L lock the screen when I walk away from my desk. Seems like locking the computer then letting the screen blank is doing something evil. After I force a reboot, by keyboard backlight forgets it's setitngs and returns to full brightness. If I lock the screen then bring back the computer before the screen is blanked, it seems fine. I don't think there's any way to adjust the screen blanking when the lock screen is up (even my desktop power-saves the monitors after a few minutes on the Lock screen). I'm not sure it's HP or MS that should be looking into this. My computer is about 3 years old so I can't pester HP with warranty requests. I'm not sure how prevelant this problem is. Are all Pavellions and Envy's having the problem? Mine has Radeon graphics which was a bit unusual at the time. I have to install the HP Display driver before any AMD updates or the screen dimming doesn't work (at least with win 7 and 8). Dave.

Problems with Windows XP SP3 in Boot Camp

Hi,
I have recently received a 21.5" iMac; it is the higher-end of the 21.5" standard configurations. The problems I am having, I believe, specifically relate to drivers.
Firstly, I get no sound whatsoever in Windows XP SP3 (boot camp); I have tried removing and reinstalling the drivers from the Snow Leopard install disc, but no success. I have no yellow question marks in the device manager window, but the absence of audio still persists.
Secondly, I cannot gain access to the special functions of the Apple wireless keyboard in Windows XP SP3 via Boot Camp. Again, I have tried reinstalling the drivers, but no success. I have read an Apple support document which states that the keys are only supported on late 2009 Macs; I own one of these Macs, so that cannot be the problem.
