sillysillysilly Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I have a script I am running that I want it to grab a screen shot when the user presses a button to do so. when I operate the function I get a black screen. I googled it and followed the instructions to get Apache to allow it to interact with the desktop; but it is still black. Ironically I had this feature running on my laptop with Apache and had no problems. Any other ideas what I might have set wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillysillysilly Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Update. I turned off apache as a service so it has to be started manually and I can get it to take screenshots. Not sure why it running as a service causes this problem. I am using apache 2.2 with windows 7. When installed as a service apache has permission to interact with the desktop.

MadTechie Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I assume this is solved ? if not then change the apache service to interacte with desktop is services.msc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillysillysilly Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Actually not solved yet. I have set it to run as a service and giving it permission to interact with the desktop in services. when I do this i get a blank screen. When I turn it off as a service the function works ok.
