SYMPTOMS

When you are using Lotus ScreenCam for Windows version 1.0a, the screen goes completely blank--you see nothing other than the mouse moving.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when ScreenCam tries to access Windows 95 internal system data using incorrect commands. This prevents ScreenCam from repainting the display, resulting in the blank screen.

WORKAROUND

ScreenCam does run correctly when loaded from Microsoft Windows version 3.x in a virtual machine (VM). For more information about running Microsoft Windows version 3.x in a VM, refer to the Windows 95 release notes.

MORE INFORMATION

ScreenCam is a multimedia tool used to capture application screen activity, cursor movements, and sound into an integrated movie.

ScreenCam is manufactured by Lotus Development Corporation, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
