I'm currently doing a longplay of Silent Hill 2 Directors Cut PC and I have some troubles doing it. I can record scenes, no problem. I'm using Fraps 2.8 on 29.97fps and half-size (576x384). I'd love to do it in better quality, but my PC is too weak.

Anyway, my problem is: I record from save point to save point and stop the recording before every save so I get more files and use less space. Before each save I stop the recording and try to access the save menu. At this point the game crashes every time. When I rerun it up to that point without recording, the saving works fine.

Does anyone have any idea what I can do about that?

I'm playing and recording on the same machine: Acer Extensa 5620, 1.66 ghz, 667 mhz fsb, 512mb hd2400xt mobility radeon and 2 gb ddr2 ram. I'm using Windows Vista SP1 32 bit and have Aero switched off of course aswell as every other application I don't need while recording.
