Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 Screen Capture - a monitor program has been found running on your system

Question

Hi,

I updated to Expression Encoder 4.0.4276.0 on Windows 7 v. 6.1.760032 bit and when I run the Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 Screen Capture application I get a window that pops up that says "a monitor program has been found running on your system. Please unload it from memory and restart your program".  Themida - http://www.oreans.com is in the title bar.  I have Symantec Endpoint Protection running and that's the only thing I can see which may be a "monitor" type application.  I have to have Symantec Running so disabling it isnt an option.  Is there a work around?

Answer 1

This doesn't look to be related to Symantec but to this "Themida" program. Searching the web it looks like some apps/games install this Themida program. I guess some games developers want to make sure you can't do things like screen capture their game. Can you look in your Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel to see if you see anything called Themida and see if you can uninstall it?

Regards

Answer 2

After a reboot I didnt see this error any further.  Not sure which application is using Themida.  Skype I think since that was the only other application which as updated recently.
