Recording uac dialog in Windows 7/Vista?
Hi,
I had tried Camstudio 2.6 Beta, and it worked find in Windows 7.
But I have one problem.
Camstudio seems to fail to record uac dialog. Why is this?

Good to know that it works well in Win-7.
But uac dialog?
Can you explain which dialog you have in mind. "Uac" is a little to short for me.

Hmmmm, good question! (and thanks again for the portable version you've created...)
There are other free screen recorders -

Of course, the king and ruler of all these is Camstudio for its versatility and ease of use, but let us know if your tests show any of these others working with the UAC dialogs.

Another benefit of Camstudio that it is really free and sources are available for everybody. This won't stop.
It seems that although the new Camstudio release runs well on XP, development and test team should start a discussion how they could develop and test Camstudio for Vista and Win-7 users. For me this requirement demand that I should buy new systems that I can use dedicated for building and testing new releases.
It also opens the discussion which compiler we should use. I assume we should switch to VS2010 as well (see side-by-side discussion).
If people agree we should start to do this you can add a contribution here:

[[ Note from Nick - donation links no longer required thanks to a very generous CamStudio user (thanks again Michael), who has donated a MSDN Ultimate subscription to the CamStudio project which includes Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2010 licenses. Please note, I will not be selling individual licenses, so please don't ask. ]]

Well, that is certainly helpful news, but it would be nice if Camstudio could overcome that limitation. I wonder by what mechanism that layer is secured?
Anyway, that is out of my league! Perhaps Jan or others will find out the situation (it may turn out to be helpful that Nick has gone for the MSDN Ultimate subscription!!!) :-)

In that case, outside of recording error messages to share with tech support personnel, I cannot see any practical need otherwise for being able to record UAC dialogs.
That is something of a comfort anyway!
