Bandicam Lag While Open in Games (Not Recording)

Okay, so basically whenever I have Bandicam open and am playing most Steam games (Skyrim, Garry's Mod, AC4, most things on Steam, really), when I move the mouse, my frames drop tremendously, whether it's for moving the camera, or in the settings, it seems to lag every Steam game I have tried it with.

This issue I found continues persisting even when launching AC4 from UPlay, or Titan Fall from Origin, and Thief from Steam, and MapleStory downloaded off of the MapleStory website, just to give you a bit of perspective on the whole situation.

However, I have found this issue doesn't occur when I play Minecraft (Which anything on Steam/Uplay/Origin and Minecraft pretty much sums up most of my gaming).

I'm not sure if this could be a Windows mouse setting, a Bandicam setting, or a game setting, but it is very annoying. If anyone knows of a fix, it would be greatly appreciated if you let me know! It occurs even while Bandicam is open, regardless of if I'm recording or not.

I know, I should use Fraps, but it is just a Space Eater and I am planning to record 3-4 hours within the next week and need to use less space.



My Specs:
AMD Phenom II x4 955 @3.2 gHz (Yeah, a bit of a bottleneck with the GPU, I'm upgrading soon)
EVGA GTX 770 4GB vRAM (This is not the issue as I used to have a 550 Ti and recently upgraded in hopes it was potentially a graphics issue and it was necessary)
8 GB RAM
Windows 7 Home Premium
A generic MoBo (THis is not the issue as I got a new MoBo a while back ago and the issue was there previously as well)
Rosewill 750 W Semi-Modular PSU


Thanks in advance,
Nick
