Error when opening CamStudio
So I downloaded CamStudio and every time I try to open it I get this message:
C:\Program Files (x86)\CamStudio 2.6b\Recorder.exe
This application has failed to start because it's side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application even log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more deatail.
I am *Not* a computer geek so it would be extreamly helpful if anyone could tell me what to do to fix this in the simplest way possible. buy the way I have windows 8
Thanks HorseLuva

When I pull up CamStudio and then I click the Record Button I gives me this message:
CamStudio could not record the AVI file using the current compressor.
Use default compressor?
[yes button] [no button]
I don't know what a compressor is so I don't know what one I have if there is one i need to download please let me know
Thanks Horseluva
A compressor makes the file size of the video much, much smaller than it would be without one. Zip is a compressor for files. There are several compressors (called codecs) for video. Check the drop-down at the top of your Video Options dialog to see which compressor you've got selected.
