Ditto = top clipboard extender for me!

Tue Mar 08, 2011 1:55 pm

Hi guys I need some help here. I would like to have a screen capture program that will capture what is on my monitor that is hooked up to my laptop. I tried Fraps but it does not work for me.
Do any of yal have a suggestion?

Weird, it should work since you only have the monitor adapter plugged on the laptop. I assume that they display exactly the same things?

Yes they do.
I am trying out one program called Greenshot, but it only works on the desktop but not in game.

No need for printscreen program. Shapeshifter to the rescue

Has it ever bugged you that you cant hit print screen twice or copy two pieces of text without losing the first piece of information? Well I just found a clipboard extension program that is free and takes care of that problem! This program has a very user friendly interface. It also eliminates the need for a print screen program like FRAPS!!!!

And yes, it works with games like NBA 2K11!

This is a different topic in my opinion.
The other topic was to ask a question about print screen programs.
This topic is about clipboard extensions.

Still pretty much a continuation of the first thread in my opinion. Merged.

Well, shapeshifter does not work like it should. While it holds 51 data compilations it does not always work

I am now trying Ditto. I will let you know if it works.

I have a monitor hooked up with my laptop, Fraps works, no problem with the monitor's 1440x900 resolution.

Ditto works about 99% of the time.

I also just upgraded to Windows 7 and was having some trouble with a black screen when I hit print screen.

While searching for a solution for this problem I found the answer here.. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows- ... ideo-game/ it works awesomely!
