    Hi there

    I would like to do a screen capture but would like to include bits that are not currently on the screen (scrolling). And I am looking for free software :) . I have had a look at ScreenHunter, which can do a scroll capture, but only on the Pro version, which is of course not free. Does anyone know if there is a free option for this?

    Thanks

    If you are capturing something on internet you can always press F11, make as many captures as necesary and then stich all together using Photoshop or any other program. Cheap & easy

    Thanks guys. I don't want to capture avi thought and I am not doing websites. I need to capture screenshots of our current database programme to use in a document. The screen scrolls down over the bottom of the screent though and i need to capture the whole thing.

    while you're essentially right, i find it funny you mention photoshop in a solution that should be "cheap" :) (but i know of enough free good alternatives for photoshop in such a situation that the statement stays true :))

    PicPick (Check "Activate Auto Scroll", then use "Capture Window Control").

    Use the printscreen button and Ctrl+V shortcut. It's free and it's fast. .
