I did some google searching and it seems like it's a DNS issue. Should I tell him to restart his router? Or for him to call his...
I'm looking for a screenshot program that works like these two Firefox extensions but for standard Windows applications. I need to capture the contents of an application window (which needs to be scrolled).
