Below are some of the things that will instantly get you banned without an explanation or warning:
  • No warez of any kind
    Go out and buy the game. And if you're dead set on not getting the game for whatever reason, don't be dumb enough to tell us. We realize that piracy has become rather mainstream, but it ain't allowed here.
I'll be nice and only give you a triple warning. Don't be a pirate and be smart and read the site rules.

Uh, you have to assign a key to that function (I like to use Caps Lock), press it to start/stop recording.

I personally believe that XFire is the best. It seems to come out in teh highest quality and also never costs. I don;t know of any other free ones that don't have a ton of limitations. Although, don't use XFire if your computer is not too great, otherwise you get a lot of lag.

Like Nihillo wote.

You need to press this Button a second time to stop your video.
It doesnt depend which Key you use it works but dont forget F9 could be a Key in your running Game.So it could be a Problem to use F9.I would use Keys in Num Pad :wink:

If i would be you,i would spend some less Bucks to buy Fraps.Its really not very expensive and
you can record not only Ingame Stuff.Nearly eveything that you watch in Full Screen via a Player or Movies out of the Net can be recorded. :wink:

You checked out the Fraps Options to see if the Output Folder exists and that the Folder is available to save your Video?
Try something like E:\Screens and try to avoid to record to C:

Sometimes i record Ingame and forgot to power on my seperate Harddrive.So its not recording and mostly crashes Fraps.
You can see the Fraps Symbol in the Tray? Think if its crashed then it contains a red color,if its allright its yellow.

If this doesnt help you. Deinstall it and reinstall it again or check out this Faq
