Well then, perhaps you'd like to suggest something that you've used for this purpose. Something that will easily capture the entire screen's output and audio input, in to a format that is readily usable for things like uploading to Youtube or feeding to an NLE.

Like... CamStudio?

Please understand I'm not talking theoretically here. I work for a university, part of my job is media, and I've used WME9 to capture lectures. The professors like it because it is easy to use (they just run the profile I give them and hit go) and it generates a file that we can host on the web directly if we want, upload to Youtube, convert to something else, whatever. It is simple and low effort.

Sorta like CamStudio?

That's why I'm suggesting it. Because I have seen it work, many times. If you have an alternate suggestion that you've actually tried then I'm sure the person who asked the question would love to hear it. I would too, in fact, I'm always up for new technology.

Sounds like our experiences with CamStudio! (which is free)

Always use screen capture software to record your skype/internet video calls...

Camstudio (open source)

If any of you know any better ones list them in a reply.

1) Download and install http://camstudio.org/
2) Start CamStudio.
3) Turn javascript OFF.
4) Stop CamStudio.
5) Post the video somewhere.
6) Send out general announcement e-mail with link to above video. Include sentence explaining that websites which don't work without javascript are inherently unsafe and unnecessary.
7) Relax and do something more interesting.

The term digital native is being applied to individuals who have grown up immersed in technology.

That introduces the concept of the ultimate library, the computer. So far, at least, librarians know the computer largely as a replacement for the card catalog, but the computer as a library in itself sits in the future like the Sphinx demanding the answer to its riddle. And if you don't give the right response it will bite your head off--or at least sit there blocking the way to all the information it contains.

Use CamStudio (GPL), or some other desktop video recorder. Record your desktop until the event has occurred a few times, then advance to a frame in the video file that contains the dialogue box/application window. Leave the task manager (ctrl-alt-delete) running off to the side. Let the event occur once with the applications tab displayed and once with the processes tab. Make sure you can see the whole process list.

Check the event viewer (control panel->administration) for erratic messages. Try disabling processes one by one to see if one of them is the cause. What Anti-stuff are you running? Anti-stuff is only as good as the definition database. Furthermore, many malicious processes can hide their existence from the OS, and an application tracking software is almost certainly going to get this info from the OS. Make sure your video drivers are up-to-date. If you suspect that the app communicates over the netowrk, install a software firewall and set it to anal mode.

Run a benchmarking utility or simultaneously run several resource hungry applications to slow the machine down, and maybe the window will hang around for a while.

If you cant catch it there, just format and reinstall Windows--the standard fix for anything Microsoft. Cue the mac/linux comments!
