Why won't camstudio work for me?

WHY WON'T CAMSTUDIO WORK?

• Well, i used to have camstudio in my old computer. But, i got a new one in Augast and this computer has Windows 7,unlike my old one,which had Windows Vista.I tired to download Camstudio for my new computer by going into Camstudio.org, but when i click the download link, it takes me to a website called, Sourceforge. So, i said ok, and clicked download. I downloaded it and i went on my desktop(that is where i downloaded it.) and i saw that instead of being a blue square as the folder icon it was a folder. I said ok, again, and opened it. It had a bunch of stuff in it and i have the link to the pictures of it below. Plz help me. thank you images ( i took these with snipping tool) : This is the folder icon that pops up after download: http://www.flickr.com/photos/72951157@N07/6583431091/ this is the inside of the folder http://www.flickr.com/photos/72951157@N07/6583431217/ this is wat i clicked : http://www.flickr.com/photos/72951157@N07/6583502071/ After i took my video and clicked stop to save it and i put a name for it this is wat it said: http://www.flickr.com/photos/72951157@N07/6583431327/ After that i kept changing the name but it didnt work.I need HELP PLZ Sorry there is a lot of links but i wanted it to be descriptive

• Answer:

  I am unfamiliar with CamStudio, but if you still have the original computer try copying the original downloaded program to a flash drive, then run it on the new system. if you do not have th old system, try right-clicking the download link and select save target as... If you do have the original system, and you do copy the file, if it says "This Version of Windows is Not Compatible With This Program" or something similar follow these steps 1. Right-click the Icon 2. Click Properties 3. Click the Compatibility Tab 4. Check the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" checkbox 5. Select Windows Vista and the Service Pack your old machine was 6 (Optional). It may be neccessary to select the Disable visual themes checkbox if the program is not compatible with the new Windows 7 Color Pallette.
