Screen capture difficulty with MT4?

Is anyone else experiencing huge delays when trying to save a screen capture with MT4? It can take 5 minutes or more sometimes and I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing the delay I had no problem a week ago and now it takes forever for them to save. This has happened before and I can't seem to pin point why.

i wanted to say check your system but i did try it and mine was more than 60seconds. I was even saying unresponsive at first. that must be from the software itself, may be a bug.

Whats the Problem in your case? How do you want to save it? With ChartScreenShot in you mql program?

I use an indicator to safe the chart (with a given template) on every trade event (order placement, order execution and order close) for documenting and trade reviews. It’s working well under all circumstances. So I can say that is very unlikely a mt4 bug.

Using the save chart as image function in MT4. It’s all but unusable. For a period of time it saved images right away. Now there is a massive delay before the dialog box pops up to save for whatever reason. I just take a screen capture with my laptop now.
