Ah, now I understand the question Don was asking. Did I take a picture of the entire map? No, it won't quite fit, unless I use a smaller map setting. I haven't tested but I think it would have to be around 50x50 to get the entire map in one shot, reducing it of course to a smaller zoom level.

No Bill. I was asking you if you were running the GAME in full screen mode or windowed mode when you took the screen shot.

WinSPMBT can run as a fullscreen application or windowed application. The default mode is fullscreen when you start up the game from GameOptions but you can select it to run as a windowed application as well.

We had only been able to get screen shots in windowed mode before this. I was asking you to confirm that these shots were taken while the game was running in full screen mode

Okay. Thanks for clarifying. Full screen, Don. Hypersnap is running in the background. Only two programs running, Hypersnap and SPMBT.

I press scroll/lock, minimize SPMBT and call up hypersnap. My picture is there.

So yes, full screen mode.

Just curious, how do you minimize WinSPMBT while it's running fullscreen? I could do it repeatedly with the DOS version by pressing my windows start key but that doesn't work for me WinSPMBT ( but I was one of the few who could get away with that trick in DOS over and over )

The Windows key works for me (the one between ctrl and alt with the picture)
BTW Window key + m minimizes all windows open. Great for at work when the boss walks in.

Same with me.
Second key (window logo) from the bottom left of my keyboard.

Yep. That's the exact key I use to be able to use to minimize the DOS game. If almost anyone else tried it they crashed their machine. For me it worked 100% every time. It does diddly for me with WinSPMBT set to full screen. I can press it all I want and not a thing happens

Tab+Alt works for me
