    Go to the image you want to take a snap, click at the point where you want and mouse drag the broken box area to the size of choice. Stop where you want and do a left mouse click.

    Once the snap is captured into the tool as this.

    Will MWSnap capture an entire active scrolling window? That's one of the limiting features of Win 7 snipping tool.

    Snap program


    Yes I could probably use Snap but with MS snip I probably don't have to add another program to the list. It just is that I like things to work and should not need to add another program. Thanks for the tip and if I continue to have problems I will try snap, I haven't tried snip since I could not make print screen work. I wonder if it is possible to program the top row to something else than what they say? There is a lot of things about windows 7 I don't know about.
