Can no longer capture images - Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException

Asked by Lisa Winckler

I am no longer able to capture images. When I attempt to use a mouse action I get the below error:

I forgot to copy the main part of the error:

The below is in red font:

looks like you have the Preferences

1st tab ScreenCapturing
either text in the image or off

but you have not setup for using text features.

so the easiest would be to reset to
time stamp

if you want to name the images you can do that afterwards with Preview.

AHHH!! That's it! Shoot. I knew it was the preferences I changed I just couldn't remember which one I changed.
Thank you soooo much!!!
