Uhm help?
When I try to record games, with or without sound, when I click on the game, the video turns black when I watch it. And how am I spouse to do stuff if I can't click on my screen? Camstudio works fine when I use it with Fire Fox though. I don't get it, what am I doing wrong? D:
Please help!

The black screen problem isn't to do with CamStudio - it's to do with the way that Windows renders non-browser based video content on-screen.
99% of the time, you can fix the problem by temporarily disabling hardware acceleration in Windows via the Control Panel before you start recording.
To do this on Windows 2000/XP, go to the Control Panel, choose Display : Properties : Settings : Advanced : Troubleshooting. Set the Hardware Acceleration slider to None.
For other versions of Windows, go to the Control Panel, choose System, (and under the performance tab), choose Graphics : Advanced. Set the Hardware Acceleration slider to None.
Brandished is correct - while CamStudio may "technically" be able to record games, that's not what it was designed for.
You'll be much better off using any of these:

GAMECAM: http://www.planetgamecam.com ($29.95 or Xpress Version $19.95)

@Brandished, thanks for the GameCam tip - never heard of that one.
HTH
Cheers
