I downloaded trial version of Bandicam to my Win7 64-bit machine to see if it will work for me. I opened Bandicam for the first time and I used the Target rectangle selection and the Premiere editing preset (as I wish to edit it later). I did a couple of test recordings just fine. I closed Bandicam to look at the test recordings in Windows Media Player, which looked great. Then I double clicked on Bandicam icon to open it again to do more tests and the interface opened but I got the forever twirling circle and nothing would respond anywhere to the mouse click. I Ctrl-Alt-Deleted open the Task Manager and the window opened but when I hovered the mouse over the Task Manager window it was also the twirling circle and no mouse response at all. I waited for several minutes but nothing changed, the entire computer was frozen, and eventually had to do a hard reboot of the entire computer.
I was able to repeat this first open--all fine; second open--computer freeze, two more times so it is not a fluke.
Anyone know why Bandicam freezes the second time it is opened? I really want to like (and buy) this software, but not if I have to be rebooting my computer all the time to reopen it.
