Now, I need to figure out how to take screen shots from the primary monitor only and not both monitors at the same time.

Most image viewers like xnview, irfanview and probably others can capture screen partially.

You are running Irfanview aren't you?

Menu: Options/"Capture/Screenshot" brings up this requestor

Also if you press alt-PrintScreen while you are running AE in windows mode, the operating system will capture just the active window to the clipboard where you can paste into a graphics program like Paint or Irfanview. This is how I captured the picture above and I did not need to crop it. This is the same as Capture Area 3 above.

Capture Area 6 looks interesting where you just click on a window to capture it. (ESC to return mouse to normal operation).

Cropping is so extremely easy. I just use my full display (both screens) screenshots and crop down. I have to crop down anyway to get the wasted space out of the window.

Have to say, even more joy today, instead of finishing the turn I downloaded and got Tracker up and running in windows 10 for both my games.

So, tracker can run on screen two, along with a todo list etc, and the game can run pretty much full sized in a window on the primary screen.

Now, I need to figure out how to take screen shots from the primary monitor only and not both monitors at the same time.

Have to say, it was the easiest Tracker install I ever did.

alt-printscreen will take a picture of the active window only. So just select the WITP window, than hold "alt" and press print screen. Paste into your favorite image editing program.
