    I'm not sure Albert. I don't have a computer with Windows 7 to test it on. However, I have had some good results in getting older programs made to run on XP, run on my Vista system, by changing it's "Compatibility mode". So, if you've already installed it, and tried it, but it didn't work, you could try to change that option. If Windows 7 allows for it, here's what you'll need to do (You'll only need to do it once for any program you need to do it for):
    1 - Install the program, if you haven't already (in this case, you'd install Camstudio)

    2 - Once installed, locate the shortcut for the program, right click on it, and select "Properties" (assuming W7 still has that option).

    3 - The Properties panel should now be opened. Locate and select the "Compatibility" tab.

    4 - In the Compatibility section, you should see an area listed "Compatibility Mode", with a menu in it. Check mark the option to enable it, then click on the menu (it should expand, giving you a number of options to choose from). If available, select the newest mode that the program (CamStudio in this case) listed that it was compatible with (probably XP or Vista).

    5 - Click "Apply" to set the changes, or just click "Ok" to both apply and exit the Properties Panel.

    6 - Test the program to see if it now works correctly.
    Nothing is easy to the unwilling.
