I didnt know until about three minutes ago. I have been posting on 
hardware forums all morning but I just got a response that said - "its a 
pixel by pixel screen capture" - though Im not sure why its capturing 
the screen in the first place.

But, luckily - thanks to Savey in this forum - knew of this software and 
emailed it to me. Very small in size. Said he hates it. Ah... someone 
who knows the pain :)

Anyway, got my answer!

Thanks

Wade
