Hey guys.

H'okay so here's the situation. I want to LIVE-steam me drawing, but the problem is that when chose Window-capture (and choose SAI drawing program)

it shows the program... but everything else aswell.. What i want is it to only show SAI... :/

Any ideas out there? Thanks! (Aero should be enabled)

You need to make sure Aero is enabled. In settings>video make sure "Disable Aero on startup" is unchecked

Re: Window Capture (showing all windows except for selected

So, you're saying Aero already was enabled and when you try to capture 1 specific window with Window Capture you end up capturing your whole screen?... That should not happen. I don't even think that CAN happen. I wouldn't know how to trick OBS into capturing the whole desktop with Window Capture.

Allright i broke the system! - No clue how then.

Well I can file pictures for the non-believers if it is required! I would even stream it if you want me to. :p

Not that I don't believe you but -- viewtopic.php?f=5&t=97

Would go a long way towards figuring out what's going on on your end and how to resolve the issue.

::::PS:::
i do see the window i selected in the window capture.. But i am able to see extra windows i bring up aswell. That is not ideal. All i want is that one window in focus. Nothing else :-)

Re: Window Capture (showing all windows except for selected

Well, it is supposed to list all possible windows. Just not output them all at once.

Re: Window Capture (showing all windows except for selected

Just to add, on my stationary it's not doing this problem, but as i want it to work on my notebook i installed OBS on that... And it's only on the notebook the issue occur. If that's any help

""EDIT""

Hmm as i see it says Aero is Disabled under the log, But the box is unchecked. Can i change this is the program files perhaps?

Right click your Desktop, select "Personalize" and then change to an Aero theme.

Re: Window Capture (showing all windows except for selected

[SOLUTION]

Okay, i found the way out of this. IF anyone else should've done something like i did... I will elaborate.

To increase performance on your computer, some people (like myself) have went into Controlpanel->System->Advanced Systemsettings-> Performancesettings (adjust for best performance)

If you have done this, it will result in your computer disabling aero features for OBS. ... What i did to fix this is Simply checking all the boxes inside Performance settings once more, so it returned to standards. Now with Aero back and running, everything is running perfectly.

:-) Thank Kharay for your time though :-)
