Use Win 7 screen recording function to quickly solve system problems

        When we encounter problems in the process of using the computer, we may first go to Baidu, or call someone for help by phone or QQ. But sometimes the problems encountered can not be expressed in a good language, and finally caused the situation that they could not understand, the other party could not understand, the problem was not resolved, and the time was lost. If you can record the operation of the problem and send it to others, it will be much simpler. In Win7, the recording operation process does not need to install any software, and can be completed by using the "problem step recorder" that comes with Win7.

The Win7 problem step recorder is very simple to use, just because it is not easy to find, so many people don't know about this feature. Enter psr in start-run and press Enter to open the toolbar of the Problem Step Recorder. The main interface of the problem step recorder is very simple. You only need to press the "Start Record" button to start after starting.
