The moire patterns are caused because the Windows standard screen setting
uses 3D objects for the scroll bars instead of a solid color. To solve the
scrollbar moire problem, change your Windows color scheme. (It doesn't
matter what screen capture/graphics program you use.) Here are the steps:

Step 1 Exit the application for which you want to create screen captures.
Step 2 Choose Display icon from the Control Panel.
Step 3 Choose the Appearance tab.
Step 4 Select High Contrast White from the Scheme drop-down list box.
Step 5 Select 3D Objects from the Item drop-down list box.
Step 6 Select the lighter shade of gray from the color drop-down palette to
the right of the Item list box.
Step 7 Change the other screen objects as appropriate to make them look like
the Windows standard settings.
Step 8 Choose the Save As button to display the Save Scheme dialog box.

Step 9 Type a name for the new color scheme, then choose OK to return to the
Display Properties dialog box.
Step 10 Choose OK.
Step 11 Restart the application for which you want to take screen captures
and verify that the new color scheme is in effect. You may need to reboot in
order for the color scheme to fully take effect.

Hope this helps,
Jed
