    This may have been covered somewhere by someone before now, but I was hoping that I could capture an image directly from the multi-av out, which I would assume is possible as Max showed us the multi colour test screen the other day. Have I missed the solution on here?

    I dunno, you come for an answer, you find the 3 Stooges!

    Quite happy to set-up the gag and be the foil ;-)

    If it can't connect to the Tool, just disconnect the target manager...

    Would you get a dump from Vram on Max's unit if his GPU was shot?

    What I am thinking is would Vram capture what is on the screen, as a PC does if you hit PrtScn or does it capture from the graphics chip? Is there a difference lol?

    Do you get what I mean? I am sadly not technical enough to explain this, but I was wondering whether this could potentially establish whether it was a video chip fault or not.

    Just a thought!

    That query is very badly worded, I hope you comprehend what I mean.

    Okay, just had PM to inform me that it will not connect.

    Forget that idea then...

    The thing is, you won't get anything, the app won't connect if dsedb nor the target manager can't...
    His unit worked in WS mode for a little while, so vramsnap should have worked at the time, I don't think the video chip is the problem, and as you said yourself in the proper thread, if there's a video output, it must work, no?
