Problems with Vh Screencap

Hi. Thanks in advance for any help. I'm running VH Screencap 3.0.0.5 in conjunction with Skype Video call. What I'm trying to accomplish is simply to stream my desktop or a full screen application(game) to my skype video call. And I've successfully been able to stream the desktop, but not full screen. This would work fine for just showing off gameplay to friends to show them what a particular game is like as long as it has a windowed mode. The problem I'm having is that after around 20 - 30 seconds of streaming, the portion of my desktop that is displayed on the skype video call automatically resizes itself from my full desktop, to the top left corner of my screen. Aprox 1/4 of my total monitor. I assume its a problem with VH, but I could be wrong. Settings Tab of VH: Checked Align Video, Show Mouse, Show clicks. 30 FPS. On the Capture tab, I've tried both selecting the game window, and my actual desktop background. Both settings resize the video. I'd like to be able to run my games full screen and stream over skype as well. My games lag more when in Windowed mode, understandably. If anyone has a solution please share Thanks again.

    You cannot stream fullscreen games with screen capture software. You need to use a direct capture method like XSplit's GameSource, or DXTory.
