I can set a delay and open drop-down-menus and highlight a selection for Snip to capture. A major improvement in my thinking is the addition of DELAY. Update 11/2018: The Snipping Tool in Windows 10 has been improved. It also has a handy ‘pencil’ for marking in the image. I love it because it grabs the entire screen then lets me crop to just the part if the screen I want. Since Windows Vista, there has been a feature named Snipping Tool that does single image screen capture. Windows 10 does have screen capture built in. So, showing opening a program and finding files can be a problem. One of the consistent problems across various video capture apps and Window 10 is not being able to record the desktop. For the last problem just open FRAPS recorded videos in Windows Media Player then they play. In other places people were pointing to the problems with FRAPS inefficient memory use, slower frame rates, and the inability to play FRAPS video capture in Win10. That it was from at least four months ago and considering their former development rate, I am not very confident an update is coming. (I take this as hearsay.) There is no ETA. In this thread, one person says they did get an email back from the FRAPS people saying an update for Windows 10 is in progress. Tom’s Hardware Review and other tech sites have no answers. Researching for ways to get FRAPS working on Win10… I find no good fixes or solutions. Update 11/2018: No new FRAPS updates, 5+ years. There is some discussion of the issue in the FRAPS Windows 10 Issues thread at the Microsoft forums. Some searching shows people are having problems with FRAPS on Win10. The June 2015 video shows FRAPS working in Win10 on older hardware. Queries using the contact form at FRAPS have mostly gone unanswered.

I did see some people commenting that the past update rate of several times a year stopped in Feb 2013. (As of still no update.) Are they going to update it for Windows 10? I can’t find any information to reliably answer that question. The newest version is 3.5.99 released in February 2013… two five-plus years ago. FRAPS is advertised for Windows up to version 7. So, what is going on?įirst: a visit to the FRAPS website.

I am on the verge of updating my main machine to 10. I noticed a person in the Myst-Uru community mentioning that FRAPS is not working on their Windows 10 machine.
