You probably weren't affected for some reason, but I remember having
issues with the window thumbnails from the taskbar being captured
instead of the actual window. I don't remember how I solved this
(checking window size or class maybe?)

Also, this is awfully slow if I remember correctly. I don't know what
the expected method would be nowadays (ie not a 15yo one).

Best regards,
