Software question...What freeware/shareware can record my PC screen as I do something & comment ?
Edited on Tue Jun-24-08 07:46 AM by masmdu
I want to capture/record my manipulation of some charts on my PC as I make comments. Does anybody have a suggestion of what software (free/share) would let me do this?

Thanks!

5. This is a reliable download site.....
I use it all the time and have never had a problem. They check stuff for viruses.

7. I didn't find any last year..
Camtasia has a free trial, though. It's expensive to buy, unless you get the education price - and even then, it's costly.

9. This doesn't do video. Captures static screen, right?

Here's one I found just browsing Softpedia.com. It has good user ratings. You might give it a try. It's freeware.

13. WebEx advertises on Air America Radio, so it would be Good if you supported them.
You can get a free Demonstration download that will probably be good for a month or more.
