    Dear all,

    after i have update to parallels 8, i can't use anymore the screen capture software in my virtual machine (guest OS windows 7). At the moment that i capture the screen it become black and i can only capture a beautiful black screen. Does anyone have the same problem? Is there any solution?


    Thank you


    Ps I have tried with an other free software but was the same.
    PPs I know that i could use OS X screen capture, it works, but i use windows 7 in full screen and OS X's keyboard commands are disable

    Hi.
    I have the same problem with parallels 8 and guest win 7. The upper third of the screen becomes black when I activate the windows capture tool or the PrtScn key (via send keys).
    I hope Parallels will fix the issue.
    Thank you.

    I was able to fix this issue by changing the video acceleration option from DirectX 10 (Experimental) to DirectX9 in the VM Hardware options. I had to shut down the VM to change the option. Hope this works for you.
