Lotus ScreenCam for Windows Causes Blank Screen

ID: Q121169

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you are using Lotus ScreenCam for Windows version 1.0a, the screen goes completely blank--you see nothing other than the mouse moving.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when ScreenCam tries to access Windows 95 internal system data using incorrect commands. This prevents ScreenCam from repainting the display, resulting in the blank screen.

WORKAROUND

ScreenCam does run correctly when loaded from Microsoft Windows version 3.x in a virtual machine (VM). For more information about running Microsoft Windows version 3.x in a VM, refer to the Windows 95 release notes.

MORE INFORMATION
