    How did you do that? You can simply configure a delay (e.g. 5 seconds), click on “Capture Desktop”, move your desktop cube as you like….wait….(capture takes place automatically). There should be no glitches or anything else.

    I pressed print screen then quickly kept spinning the desktop (ctrl+alt+left) until I got notification that the screenshot had been taken

    When I took the screenshots the delay was set to 1 second, but even with 0 or 5 seconds it still glitched it.

    Could this be driver specific? I’m using an ATI Radeon 4500 on a Dell Studio 1550 laptop

    Well, you should just stop spinning the cube continuously. This does not make any sense to me. If you want to capture moving pictures you should consider taking a screencast.

    This also occurs if something is moved. In this example the windows were being minimised whilst the screenshot was being taken, even with the delay set to 0 this still occured

    Take a look at some of the other posts on my website and I think you’ll see why I was doing this ;-)

    That screen capture is very sexy. Like the machine is having a psychotic episode. Very Schizo. Well done.
