Installed and registered OK with Win XP Pro.

Very good program - thank you GAOTD.

I did a quick screen capture (screen snapshots of a running application to record my on-screen actions, etc.)and it works like a dream. You can then edit the movie and add captions, voice, etc.

Very good indeed.

In case anyone is interested here's a freeware alternative

I had major problems installing & running Wondershare DemoCreator in XP Pro SP3 32 -- not sure if I'm an isolated case or not, nor am I sure if Wondershare is to blame at all. I had Flash 10e installed (from April?), which had since been updated to the latest, 10h [10,1,53,64] [to check your installed version: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/] -- Flash previously had seemed to be working fine. Because as it turns out parts of 10e were protected, I had files for both versions in the Windows \ System32 \ Macromed folder. There are reports of v. 10e causing problems [Google], it caused DemoCreator 3 to crash on starting [according to the crash report], & after crashing DemoCreator was still listed in Task Mgr with 25 - 30% CPU load. Apparently parts of the 10e installation were protected -- that's what caused me to spend a bit of time removing all Flash & reinstalling v. 10h. Once I got things fixed, & 10h re-installed, DemoCreator seems to run fine. [If anyone has similar prob, download/run uninstall_flash_player.exe from Adobe, & if needed search on "cacls" for info on removing protections so actual file(s) can be deleted. (Re)Install wouldn't work -- regsvr32 did not have permissions in the registry to register Flash Active X... towards the bottom of this page is a list of registry keys that install needs permission to write/change: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html -- it worked, though working through the list was a bit tedious.]

There are a few other potential issues to be aware of... setup for DemoCreator 3 puts a copy of xvid.ax in the program's folder, & registers it with Windows -- If you have another copy already installed in Windows' system folder, it will un-register it, & if you later remove DemoCreator, your other software cannot find/use that pre-existing file until you reinstall Xvid &/or re-register that file. DemoCreator also needs Flash to run -- without any Flash at all the app crashed on starting with a reported kernel error. Note that the version included with DemoCreator is 10c [latest = 10h] -- according to Adobe docs you're not supposed to be able to install an older version, but the 10c file was put in the folder with 10e & 10h -- because of the problems I had I can't comment on whether DemoCreator really installed 10c or just put the file there. DemoCreator also installs a copy of the Microsoft C++ runtime -- something I've come to know & Dread. In the Plus column, it installs the runtime files in a WinSxS folder like it should -- in the Minus column, it adds the installation files to a new folder in Window's system folder [something unique in my experience -- usually the temp folder is used & files purged after install]. And finally, the GOTD notes say to run Activate.exe after installation -- this is important because setup will delete any registration keys.

Noting that this may not be as accurate because of the problems I had, InstallWatch Pro reports 84 files added (besides the program itself). 34 files, 4 folders are added to Windows \ WinSxS folder as part of the C++ runtime install, 24 C++ runtime setup-related files are added in a new folder called vc_redist that's placed in Windows system folder [System32 in 32 bit Windows], and 2 files, 2 folders are added to Windows \ Installer. DemoCreator added Flash10c.ocx to the Marcomed folder as mentioned above, added 3 log files in a DemoCreator folder under My Documents, added 1 file, 1 folder under Docs & Settings \ [UserName} \ Application Data, plus shortcuts for the Start Menu. The DemoCreator program folder holds 1,075 files, 52 folders, taking up ~40MB. Microsoft's WinDiff shows major changes since version 2, which I believe was a February, 2010 GOTD.

A free version of Camtasia was offered years ago through LabNol(?), but a hard drive crash removed that and SnagIt from my arsenal of "apps I love having even if I don't use them" folder. Sadly, Camtasia's current $299 price tag is about $295 outside my budget, and (of course) only now do I have need for a proof of concept demo. Someone please shout out if you hear of another opportunity to get SnagIt or Camtasia free (not a 30-day trial... I blink and 30 days can go by!)


As for DemoCreator, it installed/registered fine (Vista 64-bit) and a quick test clearly and crisply captured my wide screen display, the dancing cursor, the apps I was using and even my grumpy voice.

Now, I never did like Wondershare's nonstandard and not terribly intuitive GUI, but will gladly endure both that and its excrutiatingly slow processing time. (boy oh boy, it is slow) Hopefully, I can finish a proof of concept demo before suffering another of GAOTD's ephemeral magically disappearing registration keys. Nothing with GAOTD is ever simple.

Footnote- during the install, it appears DemoCreator overwrote my recently patched Adobe Flash with an outdated version. That tripped the security threat alarm bells, forcing me to redownload a properly patched version. All's quiet on the western front now.
