1. What is Miraplacid Screen Capture?

Miraplacid Screen Capture is a tool for making screen shots and converting them to images of desired formats without expensive image processing tools.

2. How it's better than regular PrintScreen button?

To make a screenshot using regular PrintScreen button, you need:

Press "PrintScreen" button
Launch image processing tool
Open new image (document) in this tool
Paste image from Clipboard to that new document
Make necessary steps to tune the image
"Save As" the image to needed format and location

If you have properly configured Miraplacid Screen Capture, you need to do:

Press "PrintScreen" button
In pop-up Screen Capture dialog press "Save" button.

If you need to change your settings, this will take one step more.
If you use Screen Capture in 'Invisible' mode, you need just to press PrintScreen button to make a screenshot. Make a SHOT of your screen!

3. How can I launch Screen Capture in Invisible mode, without pressing Invisible hotkey?

To do that, use a special command line parameter "Hidden". Resulting command line (in Run windows menu or desktop shortcut) for Screen Capture will look like:


"C:\Program Files\Miraplacid ScreenCapture 1\mscrcap.exe" /Hidden

4. Why I cannot register my copy of Screen Capture?

Please, read carefully receipt you have received upon purchasing Screen Capture.
In Screen Capture registration window, you have to fill out 3 fields: First name, Last name and Keycode.
You can find these parameters in your receipt. Please, enter them into Screen Capture registration window exactly as shown in the receipt, preserving case, marks, etc. All parameters are case-sensitive.

5. Setup.exe fails to start.

Run Setup Wizard (setup.exe) from command line with "-log" parameter: setup.exe -log
