Video for Windows Screen Capture Displays Wrong Mouse Pointer

 Last reviewed: November 20, 1995
Article ID: Q139859
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows 95 - Microsoft Video for Windows, version 1.1

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Screen Capture tool included with Video for Windows on a computer running Windows 95, captured mouse pointers are recorded and displayed as an hourglass instead of the mouse pointer being used by Windows 95.

CAUSE

The Screen Capture tool detects the Windows cursor type and then tries to match it to an internal generic cursor. Earlier versions of the 16-bit driver (Scrncap.drv) do not perform this function correctly.

RESOLUTION

Licensed users of Video for Windows, version 1.1, can order the "Screen Capture Update for Windows 95 Users" Application Note (WV1225). For information about obtaining this Application Note, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
