This function was painfully slow when I was testing it on my machine. It took about 2 or 3 seconds for it to return an image. It also fails to work if the Apache service doesn't have access to "Interact with the desktop".

If you just want to take a screenshot of a website WITHOUT the ugly IE window around it, the easiest way is setting the "Fullscreen" property to TRUE. $browser->Fullscreen = true; This is basically the same as pressing F11 once the browser is open, so you just get the actual website.
