I've been able to take a few screenshots using the method mentioned here, but I'm having a strange problem...

I can take screenshots with DDMS for only about 15 seconds after connecting the device to my PC... After that, all I get is "Screen not available"

Any ideas as to what is going on?

If you happen to be using an app that is getting data off the microSD card, this is the problem. You can grab about 15 seconds worth and then it'll futz out. The Music Player is the only app I've really had this issue with though.

If USB disk mode is disabled, try enabling it. If it is enabled, try disabling it (I can't remember the "best" setting -- I think it's disk mode disabled).

First: I don't have to be using any apps for it to stop working after 10+ seconds... I can just stay on the home screen... Take a screenshot, wait 10 seconds or so, hit "refresh" in ddms, and then I get this:

Without ever opening any app that may need access to the SD card.

And second: You recommended changing the "USB disk mode" setting... but didn't this setting get removed with RC30? When they introduced the new "mount" or "don't mount" notification dialog? It's been a while since I updated, so I don't remember for sure - but I sure don't see any such setting now.

The only thing related is the setting to mount/dismount the SD card... And, changing that has done nothing - I still have the same problems.

Thanks a ton for your help!
