Anyone know of a screen capture utility which will also capture the mouse pointer (shareware or commercial is ok)? I've found a few sharware utilities which capture the screen, but none capture the mouse pointer. I need to create a demo of the app I'm working on and I need this functionality. Actuall… what I'm trying to do is capture a series of screen shots (including mouse) and create an .flc animation. If anyone out there has any ideas or information on tools please let me know!

Hi Buzz, Our Animator Pro product ships with a screen capture utility called Pixelpop which will capture whatever you have displayed on your screen. However, it gets kinda finicky when using VESA compliant drivers. My favorite, recently, is HiJaak for Windows (it also has a Dos capture function) from Inset Systems, 203-740-2400. It handles a hefty range of file types and has worked well for me. I hope this helps, and have a happy holiday. Bob

/* Anyone know of a screen capture utility which will also capture the mouse pointer (shareware or commercial is ok)?

Lots of ways to do this based on these two questions. Do you want to capture Animator Pro screens? -dave
