    Ok, there's too much people trying to run scar script and not having a clue how to do it.
    So, I need a recorder that will capture the desktop and the mouse so people can see what I do to run it.

    Any program to recommand ???

    Dunno why but I was expecting a reply from you ;)
    +rep for this. I was hoping for a standalone program but hey, it's working great and open source so IMO, it's worth it :)

    sorry, maybe I used the wrong word in "standalone"
    standalone for me = no install... download, unzip, run exe.

    Oh, yeah, that's one thing I don't like about Windows programs, everything needs an install when they shouldn't have to.
    Switch to Linux and everything works beautifully w/o any hassle of installation B)

    one tip:
    Don't download this one..
    There comes two toolbars with it and spyware/adware!
    And it is hard to remove from your pc.

    I've always been a supporter of Camtasia. It's lite, quick and hassle free in my opinion.

    It has a basic editor in it as well, for editing movies in a basic format.

    neopetter, you can just record with a program your desktop alone, and then when you edit it using Windows Movie Makre or whatever program of that sort, they have a feature that lets you record voice over, so you can talk at the parts you want to, and what not.
