I have Fraps working in the last patch.
I E-mailed Fraps and this is what thy said.


Thanks for your inquiry. Fraps supports recording from the desktop when the 3D Aero desktop is used in Windows 7 or Vista. Please note that for Windows Vista the aero desktop environment is only available in the Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions.

The "Monitor Aero Desktop (DWM)" option will only appear under the General tab in Fraps if this desktop environment is being used. If you don't see this option then it sounds like your desktop theme has changed or the machine is not setup to use the Aero desktop environment.

In this case, I'd recommend that you download and run the Microsoft FixIt automated support tool for enabling Aero in Windows 7 and Vista. You can find out more information and download a copy of this program directly from Microsoft at the following link:

After enabling the Aero desktop please also be sure to restart Fraps afterwards to ensure that any changes are picked up. Hope this helps!

I download the MicrosoftFixit.aero.Run tool from http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/

and now can record in CLoD after I check the monitor aero checkbox in Fraps. It records from the desktop. But it sure hurts the game performance IMO.

With this patch you can not record with fraps unless you have the payed version I do but the monitor aero was not working in fraps until I ran this tool.

Hope this helps.
