Re: Dialog boxes for Sharpcap 3.0 and above are blank.

The new beta version seems to have fixed all the display problems on high res monitors like the Surface Pro and Surface Book! Great news, I'm stoked! I'll be testing everything as soon as I can get my rig set up this weekend, but so far it looks very promising. Great work. Still the best value astro...

Re: I can't install my license! Help!

I wouldn't go that far. I have a rather interesting update. Adding a "normal display" to the Surface Book fixed the problem and I can run Sharpcap on both the Surface Book and the add on monitor. Odd, but interesting nonetheless. I'm at work figuring this out.... Disconnect the monitor(s) ...

Re: I can't install my license! Help!

No difference. All the pop up dialog boxes are blank same as before. Way to go Microsoft.

Re: I can't install my license! Help!

I will download and test this later today and give you an update. I think a lot of these issues started with the first Creators Update, although that is subjective, there are quite a number of machines with high DPI displays that exhibit similar problems. I also tried addint a manifest file for Shar...

Re: I can't install my license! Help!

I'm at 4.7.2 which was updated July 10th. That isn't the issue. It's just high DPI display devices. Both Fire Capture and Sharpcap can't handle them. I did a bit of research and it appears that its a compiler/programming issue, and there are numerous examples of these issues floating around the web....

Re: Dialog boxes for Sharpcap 3.0 and above are blank.

That isn't the issue. Sharpcap won't work on any Surface model I have tried. I went into the office and ran a test on all of the Pro 3, 4 and Surface book models I have access to, it failed on all of them, blank dialog boxes. Same with Fire Capture. No compatibility settings changes or DPI settings ...

Re: I can't install my license! Help!

I'm no sure how to send a private message. I did read all the FAQ's before I posted the report. The problem is limited to all Surface models with high resolution displays,Surface Pro 3, 4 and Surface Book 1 and 2. I tested on all 4 platforms. There are no issues with any of the standard laptop machi...

Dialog boxes for Sharpcap 3.0 and above are blank.

After trying numerous setting in Windows 10 and using the compatibility modes, Sharpcap will not function on any Microsoft Surface Pro or Surface Book tablet or laptop. Any settings or configuration dialog is just a white empty box on the screen. The left hand camera control column is blank. It does...

I can't install my license! Help!

I moved to a different PC for portability, sold the big HP laptop that was just too much to cart around and had terrible battery life. Moved to a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 i5 with much better battery life and a lot less weight. Even if I run the Sharpcap application as an administrator, run the compat...

Polar Alignment.

Well, I tried. And Failed. Miserably. I suppose I'm not too clever when it comes to reading the instructions, since I thought I had everything set up correctly, but it failed to solve even though I could clearly see the polar star through the AT72EDII. ZWO ASI120MM and a 50mm guide scope all seemed ...
