I've tried a few different screen capture tools.

So far CamStudio and Fraps.

The latest CamStudio is a pain on Windows 7, doesn't recognize any installed codecs without messing around with the Registry.

It looks like Fraps is working for me, so I'll try that one.

Any other recommendations? Camtasia is completely out of the question, as I'm not about to spend $300 on a piece of software I'm only going to use a few times.

Here's the steps I've recorded so far.

1. Open Hero Lab, choose any game system.
2. Click 'OK' at the Configure Your Hero screen.
3. Click 'Enable Data File Debugging' in the top Develop menu item if not already enabled.
4. Click 'Create New Game System...' from the top Develop menu.
5. Enter a directory name in the dialog box that pops up.
6. Enter a name for the game system (will probably add dialog on what are good directory naming schemes)
7. Go to Tools -> Explore Folders -> Program Data Folder
8. Double-click on the data folder, and then the folder that you created.
9. Go to File -> Switch Game System... and click on the game system you created.
10. Click Ok to close information screen.
11. Click View Manual on the Configure Your Character dialog, and browser should appear with generic XYZ User Manual displayed.
12. View files in folder that was opened, as we will be coming back to them to edit in a text editor.

Yup, short and sweet, but a great starting point I think!
