QTP & VMs & Screenshots - mrerek - 08-26-2011

I am running 2 VMs to test multiple suites of cases [30-60 cases/suite]. Within the scripts there are verification points captured by screen shots [either a success or a failure]. These are copied to a shared drive, linked to an e-mail message so that managers can view the results and screen shots.

There appears to be an issue where I am getting entirely black screen shots.

- If the VM is 'disconnected' from a local machine almost always the screenshots will be entirely black.
- If the VM goes to sleep, it requires a password to log back in. In both these cases I gain little value in the screen shot to verify failure or success.

Has anyone had a similar experience?
Is there an environmental setting that needs to be set to overcome this problem?

Any assistance is welcomed.
Thank you.
