Windows 7 Gadwin Issue
First off...sort of teaser/set picture?
Second...I've now upgraded to Windows 7 and am having screencapping problems.
First off let me say I do not want to have to put ANY effort into cropping and resizing my pics. I use Gadwin to take them because I can just set the program to automatically resize as I take the pictures and easily change this option whenever I want. However, now that I'm using Windows 7, Gadwin will not take pictures of the game in full-screen mode. Instead it screencaps the desktop underneath it. I can take them in windowed mode, but then I have to crop out the surrounding blue lines and task bar which I absolutely hate doing. I looked up this problem and was instructed to "disable desktop composition" for the compatibility tab on the game icon, but it did not work.
I would above all else love if there was anyway to fix Gadwin to take pictures of the game in full-screen. If this is absolutely impossible, I would like to find another screencapping program that can shoot in full-screen mode and re-size the pictures for me the very second that I take them. I hear Fraps does not do this, which is why I do not use it. I also would prefer if this were as easy as checking a box, and not involve some huge ten-step coding gymnastics. I know it's possible to do a batch file for GIMP to resize a bunch of pictures at once, but looking at what it entails make me want it to be my last resort. I'd much rather find a way to continue doing things the easy, simple way I've been doing.
Can anyone help me with this?

Click on the Gadwin Icon.
Go to 'Source'.
In the section 'Captured Area' select 'Current Window' or 'Client Window' (This will do the same thing at Current window but it will leave a silver boarder around it cause its taking a picture of the complete window. I like it personally because of the boarder).
Once you do this when you take a picture it should only take pictures of the current window you are in.
Hope this helps :)
