    Hello,

    One of my applications,Outlook Express hanged while i was compising a message.
    It was an important message and i dont want to end task and loose the data.

    Can anyone please tell me whether if there is a developer tool or software to save hanged but open process or application ?
    I see that message in Task Manager under "application" tab.

    I don't think there is an application like that.

    The most similar one with the function you've describe is "keylogger" software which is used for security (and more often for hacking) purposes. It records all keyboard presses, mouse movements, and mouse clicks. So, you get EVERYTHING. Which is kindda overwhelming for beginners.

    Probably thats an option,but if you keep logginf every keystroke then you can end up with megabytes of data daily and it will slow down PC overall.

    Isnt there really a way to copy what you see on the screen ?
    Even if it doesnt exist in files,it shoudl exist in RAM,but i am not sure how can teh one copy RAM content,not just 001000100 but decoded version,the oen you see on teh screen,probably from video card RAM ?
