Actually you're wrong, FRAPS does capture desktop video if you have the latest version and select "Monitor Areo Desktop" it will work fine. I just did it to make sure I was remembering correctly. I'll post it if you don't believe me. ;)

There is no way Ubi would give Neal or anyone an unsecure non DRM game . That would just defeat the whole DRM purpose .

What is "Monitor Areo Desktop" ? Are you using Vista?

Which version of Fraps are you using?

It's only screen capture Neal. It's what tools like Fraps don't pick up ( I.E. not playing a game ) like desktop activities.

I thought that's what you wanted?


MMmmm I'm getting confused now. ( which is my middle name. LOL )

Win7 and that's the option that needs to be selected within FRAPS to capture all the desktop activities. Latest version is 3.1.1

Ok, downloaded the latest version from the members' area, thanks, I'll see how it goes.

Onkel Neal 02-18-10 09:33 PM

Wth?? I got the latest version, but a different build # :hmmm:
I bet the aero stuff does not work with XP

No problem, glad I could help and I hope it works for what you want it for.

Onkel Neal 02-18-10 09:36 PM

I was right ;) I cannot capture desktop video with Fraps :O:

You can, maybe, but I can't.

Ah... you're trying to use it with XP? Aero is a Vista/Win7 invention, if you don't have either OS it won't work then I guess. Sorry

No problem Elder_Pirate. It's nice that this feature has finally made it into FRAPS.

Neal, I guess it's time for you to upgrade to Windows 7! You know you want to. ;)

Very cool:yeah: You know, you can dismiss that PT Boats banner if you choose, by clicking on the red X.

Well, I have thought about Win 7 but I will probably wait until Win 9. After all, XP is only 10 years old, and it still works perfectly, specially with all my old games.

And I hear migrating from XP to 7 is sheer work.

Windows 7 is allright :rock:
