I've looked through posts to see if I could figure out what is wrong, but have not found a solution to my problem. I am wanting to record my client for Perfect World. I have looked at guides on how to set up a window capture and when I do it always comes up as a black screen. The game is in windowed mode. I'm not sure if my problem is with the game, setting up the capture wrong, or that I am running windows 8.

It says you're using two graphics adapters on your desktop -- an nvidia card, and an integrated intel on your motherboard. Do you have your two monitors plugged into those different devices? If you do, and you're trying to capture a window that is on the other monitor that's on the other device, this can sometimes happen.

Re: Black screen when capturing windowed game in windo captu
Ah okay, the other one seems to be disabled I suppose. You do seem to have two active adapters though. If you're not using your intel adapter, I would advise disabling it in the bios and trying that as well.
Otherwise, no capture methods work on the game? Window capture? Game capture? Monitor capture?

Re: Black screen when capturing windowed game in windo captu
Yes my dell graphics card is intergrated so I have my monitor plugged into the nvidia connector so that it goes through that instead.
Window and game capture do not work. Monitor capture does seem to work and I can adjust it so that it only records the area where my game is on my screen. It appears as though I may just have to use it this way.
