Hello,
As conveyed earlier, please find herewith a zip file containing 2 executable files
1. Grabber.exe - This is the executable file which you would use to see the slideshow and also to configure the grabber
2. Capture.exe - This is the application which runs in the system background and captures the screen and stores it as files as specified using the Grabber.exe

In this demo you shall need to do the following
1. You will put both the files in a directory
2. You shall run Grabber.exe
3. Grabber.exe when run initially would not prompt for a password but you can use it to set a password if necessary. If password is set then future executions of Grabber.exe would require a password. The password is stored in the registry.
4. Ability to configure the slide show as to whether to have autoplay with slide advancing every designated seconds is given.
5. Ability to choose between auto running and manual navigated slideshow is given.
6. Ability to configure the grabber to take a screenshot every 5 seconds , 10 seconds is given. This is configurable. But with system resources in mind setting it to a value less than 2 minutes is not adviced.
7. Ability to change the password is given.
8. Ability to start the screen capture and stop the screen capture is given.
9. Images are compressed to JPEG format and saved hence resulting in small file sizes.

Note: The screen capture executable in this demo is visible in the taskbar which shall be made invisible in the final version. Also the registration key and disabling of the application in demo mode after 2 days is not implemented.

Please confirm the bid and we could make the changes and deploy a fully functional copy to you. We look forward to hearing from you soon and have done our very best in giving you the best.

Also let us know if any modifications are Required. On confirmation of bid we shall send you the application within a period of 48 hours after testing in on all windows platforms.
Thanks
