I am looking for a good recording tool that works on windows 7. I cant get anything to work well. Camstudio works, but I cant get it to use my sound. I want something that I can talk with as I record.
thanks.

Let me guess, you're using Firefox? Try opening it in IE, and see if it installs Java for you. If it still doesn't work, try installing Java manually. You also need Flash, but I'm assuming that is already installed.

Adobe Flash Player

Sun Java

Once all that is done, it might work in Firefox, I don't know. I've only ever used it in Internet Explorer.

See here, it's a known bug with Windows Installer, and there's a fix.

OK, just tried FRAPS, and I presses the hotkey to begin recording, then again to stop, and found no movie where it would store it, so FRAPS doesnt work unless in game I guess.

Okay, sorry for the wrong info.
I thought it would work as the same in Vista by checking "Monitor Desktop Window Manager" under FPS tab.
