Initial conditions are important to success

Before starting, maximize the target window and move the desired material up to the top of the screen.

Insure theres nothing selected or highlighted within the desired material.

Move the scroll toolbar off the scrolling area.

Animations erase the index line. In Internet Explorer, stop animation by clicking Stop.

 

Error messages

Every computer has limits and long scroll captures can exceed them. If, while scrolling,  you experience an error or the program hangs, consider adding memory, a larger hard drive, or a newer operating system. Windows XP manages huge memory objects better than earlier operating systems.

Most, but not all programs can be captured with the Manual tool. Microsoft Paint and AutoCAD cannot.
