PrintScreen does not work, nor other screen capture

[Guest asperamanca@gmail.com]

Hi all,

 

I'm a bit baffled by a problem reported by a colleague, who cannot do

screen shots on his Windows 2003 server machine.

 

PrintScreen does not work, and neither does the hardcopy mechanism I

implemented (CreateCompatibleBitmap fails, stating "not enough

memory").

Creating screenshots of single windows (as long as they aren't too

big) DOES work, it seems to stop working once the window exceeds a

certain size.

(And with two monitors, creating a hardcopy of the whole workplace is

impossible).

 

Physical memory is not an issue on that machine (2GB installed, plus

swap), so the reason must be something else.

 

I remember reading something about Paged Address Pool and System Page

Table Entries as two limited resources (and how to configure them, see

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;247904) - but

frankly, I don't really understand the implications, nor am I sure

whether this could apply to my problem.

 

The machine has Terminal Services installed, in case that has

implications on the problem

 

Any help greatly appreciated!

First MS solution: Would a reboot solve it? Maybe it's a memory stack issue.

No, we had to do multiple reboots to try all the other stuff (stop

unnecessary services and applications).
