Hi,

I know this might sound stupid, but I've rarely encountered modal windows outside of dialogue boxes. I'm currently running this program that does not allow me to switch out of it.

For example, I would like to do a print screen of the program as it's running, but I cannot switch to mspaint to save. I've tried auto-screencapture programs that prompt me to save to a particular directory, but that didn't either... giving the message, "Can't show non-modal form when modal form is displayed".

Any solutions, desperate here, haha.

Thanks, Joel

It sounds like the program is specifically designed to protect the content....and that you are trying to defeat a security measure....

Yeah... that's sort of the case. Don't suppose there's a way around this?

Thanks, Joel
