Are there any free downloads that can record what is happening on your computer screen?

The simplest way to screen capture is press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard. That loads whatever is on the screen at that moment to the windows clipboard. You can then paste into any graphics editor such as MS Paint. \n"Snaggit" is kinda the standard for creating presentations or simulations based on screen captures.\n\nWhen you say "record" though it makes me think you want to capture video or the streaming activity on the screen - which is definetly more complicated.\n\nHyperCam is a product that claims to be the best and has top google placement. Seems like the best product for the job to me.\nSimple effective.\n\nhope this helps.

I recommend you check out XnView, a freeware screen capture program and image converter, http://www.xnview.com/ if you are looking to just capture a particular windows (what it does best) but it will capture the whole screen also.  It gives you a lot more control than the "prtscrn" button.

checkout www.learnvisualstudio.net.  This guy makes his own screen capture videos on specific subjects within VS.Net.  He has some free ones, but the rest require a subscription.  It's very reasonable though.\n\nScott....

You can use a software like MWSnap or SnagIt that can be used to capture a selected area of the screen and save it as an image file.

In order to find something like this, I would recommend that you download HiJackThis Software. The program scans your PC and creates a Log of all the processes and programs that are running on your PC at the current moment. If you don't know how to analyze this Log, I suggest that you go to http://www.savemybutt.com/ site and download the free software and learn how to use it as well, and post your Log here\nhttp://www.savemybutt.com/forums/index.php?board=13.0\nThis is a Chicago-based forum that offers free help to those who need help reading their HiJackThis Logs.

Well, there isn't a program to do that linearly.\n\nThe closest you can get is use Camtasia (30 day FULL trial) to record screen activity. Camtasia is also a great video editor.\n\nIf you save your video (avi, mov, mpeg), you can then open it with Windows Movie Maker and record back onto your miniDV tape.\n\n(You mentioned streaming video. Just a note: a screen capture program can not capture a video that's playing on your computer. It's a weird hardware-type issue.)\n\nGood Luck
