SYMPTOMS

Your IBM PS/2 computer may hang (stop responding) when you use the CAPTURE.COM utility, supplied with Word for MS-DOS, if all four of the following conditions are true:

  3. You select the Clipping option in CAPTURE.COM.

  4. You capture a graphics screen or you capture a text screen within an application.

    Note: When you capture a text screen within an application, the computer hangs later, after you modify and/or accept the proposed filename.
