I never saw a response to your PixelPop difficulty. I can answer part of your question: PixelPop captures GIF files in either 320x200x256, or, if you have a program that runs at 640x480x16 colors, such as Lotus or Harvard Graphics, it can capture at 640×480. This should explain why you can't capture AniPro at 640×480, even with the VESA driver loaded. It may also be a reason for you getting locked up, I'm not sure. You might consider using AAPro's convenient F5 function key, "Save snapshot of screen to.GIF file" feature. You have to deal with the cursor, which gets captured as well (fool your friends!). I haven't tried this, but you might even be able to design a cursor (have you noticed those .cur files?) that doesn't display, and use it only when you're going for a screen capture. Nik
