Recording window issues Captivate 2017

I am  trying to record a new software simulation, and I select Application and choose the software I want to record. The application has a border around it which I need to remove, so I was then selecting Snap to 'Application Region' and removing the border by moving the red box to where I needed to record. When I recorded this seemed to work a couple of months ago.

I have tried to this today, and the recording now shows outside of the application window (red box).

Has something changed, or should I be doing this a different way now?

    Sounds like you might need some technical support. Send an email to CaptivateHelp@Adobe.com and see if they can help you troubleshoot the issue.


    Yes, I went to Adobe for assistance, and they took control of my lap top and did some updates, and it is all corrected now. Thanks.

    Are you recording this application on a secondary monitor? There are some known issues with selecting recording area under these circumstances. If so, try moving your 'application to record' over to your primary monitor.

    I am using my laptop only, no second monitor. I have changed the resolution on my lap top to see if this will work.

    It still does not work. I have altered the application but it is still showing outside of the recording window.

    Are  you on Win10? If yes, please check the Display Percentage. For recording set it back to 100%.

    I am on Win8 and it was set to 125%. I did amend to 100% but it hasn't made any difference. It is still recording outside the window.

    Strange, that helps normally. I never used Win8.
