Hello, I'm new to these forums and I have a big problem with FRAPS--but only recently. I've been recording for months with FRAPS flawlessly. A couple weeks ago, I got a new laptop. Used the same FRAPS settings as my old one and its been working amazing until today. Now instead of the FPS dropping by 5 its dropping to 20 nomatter what (90fps drops to 20fps, 30 fps drops to 20fps...its always 20!). I have tried EVERYTHING! Cleaning hard drive, scanning for viruses, deleting processes...restoring laptop to previous dates when it worked good. Nothing is working.

On my old laptop which is going back to work, using the same settings works amazing. On my new one, it worked amazing until today.

Please help! Im desperate here. And please don't reply "get an external hard-drive" because it worked great without one. Other people are saying my drive is slow but it has even less data from when FRAPS worked perfectly to now.

V-Sync was already disabled I think. There was only two options (On or Application Settings and it Application settings was checked). I will try updating directx.

Douche thing to say

Check the settings. I only have the freeware, but in the Movies section there's an FPS cap. Make sure it isn't set to 20 and uncheck the lock framerate option. Otherwise something in your computer's software isn't liking FRAPs and I can't help you there... Sorry :r

I checked under Programs and Intel HD Graphic Driver was already installed in 2011. Should I uninstall and reinstall? Can you give me a link to where I can reinstall?

Even though I have Java, it keeps saying Driver utility failed. Ive tried reinstalling Java and everything.

Java is a real pain. I think its update cache gets messed up sometimes. I had that issue before and it sorted itself out at the next update. I really don't know how to fix it, but if you have up-to-date drivers, I doubt you'd need a reinstall imo

I figured Java out, but re-installing didn't help at all
