I used to use DotColor and it worked fine (WinXP). Now I have Vista
and it doesn't work OK. So I'm looking for another app that will give
me RGB values for any color on my screen (when I put an 'eyedopper'
over that spot on the screen). Any suggestions?

why do you need a program for that?
In Photoshop CS3
under eyedropper (flyout) is another eyedropper called color sampler
hover over a color and open info palette and it shows the values

PS CS3 is a program, and a very expensive one for that purpose.

Thank you. I installed ColorPic and love the app - just what I needed
(I don't have Photoshop - waiting for the next version).
