Is there any way to use Fraps to record things outside of a game? (Ex. - A step - by - step guide.) Or is there another program / would I have to use an actual video camera?

Thanks in Advance.

Wikipedia Fraps:

In order for Fraps to take pictures or capture videos onto their system, users must first be using a program that uses DirectX or OpenGL as a core runtime system. Programs that run in Windows without DirectX or OpenGL are not supported, and therefore Fraps cannot capture desktop applications under Windows 2000 and XP. In Windows Vista the Aero desktop runs through DirectX and can be captured by Fraps.
