I thought I might bump up this thread which goes back to 2011 (it's been bumped before) and was started by the wonderful Tiger
It contains all sorts of useful info on technical problems, handy hints for inserting photos and links and, latterly, the fact that we seem to get 'notifications' that we can't get rid of (I'm up to 6).
If nothing else, another trip down memory lane.

Deepest empathy, I'm right there with you on that one - or two or three, in my case!
EJFan said:now have a reconditioned one without a video capture device. Recommendations please for a free download of a movie maker.
What operating system are you on?
Do you want to record live streams or just take snaps?
EJFan said:I will use Ezgif for editing
Never 'eard of it.

BANDICAM is very reliable and trustworthy, it records movies and takes snaps, you can even record more than one monitor but I've never gone there.
You can use it for free if you don't mind their watermark (see KAREN's vids) and, I think, a 10-minute limit.

I think windows 10 pro? And I would like to record live streams.
Well then, as long as you are screen-capturing, which means that you need un-interfered-with screen space for the area you are recording, Bandicam is the way to go.
I can’t see how to record anything on handicap except my webcam
I am reduced to not quoting you and not posting any links because I keep getting this when trying to post:
Search YouTube for BANDICAM INSTALL HELP and BANDICAM TUTORIAL.
Oh on EJfan, I do hope you get sorted out soon, our Scylla will help you for sure
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Scylla’s advice as usual was spot on! Bandicam now working… attempting to practice! Watch this space!

Controlling the size of snaps - taught to me by Bobs_Retired.
I've had to abandon this post because it simply won't post !!!
What screen capture are you using on your phablet Scylla, I use AZ ... biggest drawback is unable to mute microphone so picks up all noises ... daren't even breathe! If I get something really good with unwanted sound on I run it through MM on mute!
