[Elecraft] P3 screen snapshot problems

My P3 and it's ability to take screen snapshots have been working fine 
for 2-3 years. I installed the SVGA board earlier this year and it also 
does screen captures just fine.

The problem is now when I try to take a screen snapshot using the P3 
utility (version 1.13.1.23) I am getting jagged images.

You can go here to see an image of what I mean:

An SVGA snapshots saved to a USB stick are just fine, with no jagged 
screen segments.

I have reset the P3, I have rebooted the computer, I have checked the 
connections to be sure they are tight. Connections are Serial, not USB 
to Serial. Before I go digging around for a new serial cable or tearing 
down everything trying to trouble shoot this. I wonder if anyone else 
has run into this problem and might have a clue where I need to look for 
the problem?

I haven't done anything, that I can think of, that might have caused 
this change. I know I had some good screen shots taken from before, in 
the last month at least.

TIA
