Problem Steps Recorder

This tool is used to record the steps needed to produce a problem. The results are automatically packaged in a zip file which can be e-mailed to whoever solves your IT problems. Note that it does not capture what you type, only where you type something and that you have typed something.

Recording problems

 * 1) Click the start menu, type problem steps recorder and press enter to start the program.

 * 4) Clicking add comment allows you to highlight part of the screen and type text to comment on it.
 * 5) When you are finished click stop record.
 * 6) Choose a location to save the recording and give it a name.
