Question:

I have made a wbt-file for starting a job once a day. The problem is this job which includes start of an exe-file which grabs the screen output and saves it to a gif-file. The gif-file saving will not work when the screen saver has blanked out the screen (which I want it to do). Can I activate the screen in any way?

Answer:

Sometimes just a:

MouseMove(0,0,"","")
MouseMove(100,100,"","")

Often will clear a screenblanker. But this appears to only work in Win95/98.
