I have aero enabled, but you can't use aero peek to see the game. The game is lotro and I'm not having any luck figuring out how to stream it.

Sure thing. I am trying to use it with window capture, the log analyzer said I had 2 GPU's but one is just onboard video. The best I can get is sometimes it will stream a current still of the game where it is when I'm alt tabbed out, but it doesn't even always do that, and when I switch back the image never updates, it just stays at whatever still it was at the instant I started the stream. Usually it's just a fully black screen, which was the case with this log file.

Followed your advice from the Black Screen thread, to run as admin and use the hotkey to start streaming with the game active and it worked. It appears if I alt tab though I need to stop the stream and restart it when I get back into the game, but need to test it a bit more. Thanks!
