How to use Problem Solve Recorder!

[donetao]

Hi! I see all the members I follow here on MT are just waiting for me to start a new thread.
How many of you use PSR? It's a great tool in W7. It's really neat if your Mother in law wants to know how do do some thing and you don't feel like running over and showing her.
Just type PSR in search. It will record every mouse click. Then it will make a zip and send it to your desk top.
Then just tell your Mother in law to check her email; of course after you have attached it and sent it to her.
I would love to attach some of the zip files I have made, but it seems MT doesn't like zip files and I understand why. Any way this thread might give you bored guys some thing to do if you don't already know about PSR. It can be a great trouble shooting tool also . If you have used it, you might explain why you used it.

• When you record steps on your computer, anything you type will not be recorded. If what you type is an important part of recreating the problem you're trying to solve, use the comment feature described below to highlight where the problem is occurring.
  
  Some programs, like a full-screen game, might not be captured accurately or might not provide useful details to a support professional.

Most of us use screen casting/recording software such as Camtasia, or Faststone Capture to create tutorials..
I like Faststone myself, as it is light, and can be used portable, it does bot screen shots "with editing tools" and screen recording.. One can then use a Mic for voice instructions, as well as use the editing features to highlight certain aspects during the tutorials..

Found this on Windows 8.1 - It is useful.

This is good though I prefer faststone while to teach something to any specific friend/etc I use team viewer.

Hi is Faststone free?? Team viewer is great!! I'm not smart enough to create tutorials; but sense you mentioned it, Mt could use some more good tutorials. It would be a great drawing point to get more members to register on MT. I'm going to get in trouble for saying this some day.
"Some of us don't have any freebies to give away and we are not trained in virus exchanges or malware removal and personally I get a little bored some times." I try to think of a new thread that might give members a place to post their thoughts!!
I have checked some of our tutorials and IMHO they need to be up dated.

You get 30 days trial with faststone screen capture, it's actually simple screen recorder yet effective & screenshots maker

I have two free Faststone programs. Faststone photo resizer and Faststone capture. I prefer W7 snipping tool for screen prints.

Faststone is what we're talking about it's screen recorder as well
I prefer lightshot due to it's automatic uploading capabilities

As usual I have posted my thread in the wrong section.
Dang it. It's really confusing for me some times to know which section to start my threads.

Hi! Maybe the PSR will help some members like myself that aren't video makers.
I think it's a great tool.
Here's what I have and it's free, but won't make videos!

Thanks @illumination I just might spend 20$ and give that program a go! Maybe wife will give me a advance on my allowance.

Hi! I never know when to shut up. Why aren't some of you guys making tutorials for MT?? We have 500+ guests at this very moment. Do you really think they are all here to see if there are any free give a ways. They aren't posting in our malware section!! They aren't posting in our virus scanning section. Maybe they are here to learn just like myself. I don't know??
These are just a old man's thoughts tonight.
