Can anyone recommend anything to "capture" my monitor as I can see it?
I want it so I can show elderly relatives how to do tasks on a 98 machine.
The idea is if the want to open a web browser and use google they can watch me do it on mine. I have run out of breath explaining different tasks.
Bless them, they are doing well considering computers came out when they were already old!

Does it have to be free? I really like SNAG IT! from TechSmith but it might be a little over the top for what you want to use it for.

Of course you could use GIMP for Windows.

Here's a link to several free screen capture utilities.

Personally, I just use Gimp on my Linux boxes, and I have a free little utility, that I can't remember the name of because it's been so long since I used it, that I use for Windows. It doesn't actually install, you just copy it into a folder and run it from there. I'll see if I can find it, but I use Linux so much, and Windows so little, anymore that I'm not too sure I'll be able to find it.

 

Thanks guys.
Gimp looks fine. I onlyneed a basic app.

 

Thanks AJ, but i want to capture maybe 20 seconds worth of "play".
