newbie questions

[yaspar]

I downloaded Freecorder from Applian's site, and soon noticed that my computer was slowing down. An hour after download, I could not connect to any internet site, and my machine was grinding to a halt. I uninstalled Freecorder, restored sytem, rebooted, and was OK. What happened? Also, must I keep the toolbar to run the application? Is the toolbar the only way to control Freecorder? I realize that I can hide it any time, but does it collect/transmit personal information, like a benign form of spyware? I would love to use Freecorder but am a little nervous. Any helpful hints most appreciated. I have Windows Vista Home Premium, and an adequately equipped machine.

Hi,
If Freecorder Toolbar has trouble recording, you may need to turn off User Account Control in Windows Vista.

Let me know if this helps.

Thank you, Jeff. I since have successfully downloaded and used Freecorder with no problem. Seems I downloaded the first time from about.com, not applian.com. Hmmmm... I'll delete this thread after I give you time to see it.
