3+ monitors causes Screen Capture to crash

[RalphShnelvar]

Corel has confirmed Screen Capture will "have conflict or issues" (a polite way of saying it will crash) if one attempts to do a screen capture on a system with more than two monitors.

On my system the crash happens "VSSXAP.exe faulting in ntdll.dll"



I have four monitors on my system and screen capture will work if I disconnect two of them. This is not fun since getting access to the back of my monitors is difficult.

Does anyone know of software that will "hide" two of my monitors from Screen Capture?

Have you tried connecting two of the monitors to a separate power board, with an on/off switch so you can just turn the monitors on/off as required

many computer monitors have power switches at the front - can't you just switch two off

On many (all?) monitors, removing power will not disconnect the monitor from being detected. I _think_ video cards have a loopback circuit to the monitors to see if the monitor is there whether or not you ave power to the monitor so that you can turn off power to the monitors without the system moving all your windows around because the number of monitors has changed.
