fraps not working..

[Shogunn]

noob question but...

http://www.warcraftmovies.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2381

i followed the instructions from the guide in the above link.. and assigned a hotkey (NUM*) to start and stop recording but when i start wow and press the hotkey nothing seems to happen, and there are no videos in the folder i assigned for my recorded videos. I'm running wow in windowed mode not full screen, if that matters, anyone know why it's not recording?

1) Do the yellow FPS numbers show up in one of the corners of WoW?

2) Do you have numlock turned on? :top:

[Shogunn]

1) yes, top right corner
2) ive had it on and off (autorun) ill check again later though, maybe that's it (should i have it on or off?)

[Thiras]

Should be on.. Try another key, I use F7 for example

[Shogunn]

i tried with F7 and [ and still doesnt work...

[Shogunn]

anyone have any other suggestions?

Try running WoW in Full screen mode don't think it will help but it's worth a try.

[Shogunn]

i cant run wow in fullscreen because my computer freezes

[kiahann]

Oh sorry bout that... to be honest i really don't know what to say it could be a computer problem.

I've had a problem with an anti-keylogger program blocking fraps from recording, if you're using anything like that I'd try turning it off for a moment to see if that fixes the problem.

Not sure what the problem could be if you're not using something similar.

A good suggestion is to uninstall Fraps and manually remove the directory that it so wonderfully doesn't remove during the uninstall, then reinstall it. I suggest going to Fraps.com, they provide free support regardless if you have the free version or not.

[Shogunn]

thanks ill try reinstalling, if that doesnt work ill check fraps.com

(and i dont have a keylogger blocker, just antivirus and spyware remover)

Reinstalling should do the trick,I heard the problem before.
