Recording Desktop error?

[Snowdeath]

That happens each time I go live for a while, the timer on the Procaster stops, then about a minute after that, it crashes.

And yes, I only use Procaster and my channel, for gaming purposes, and also, livestreaming 24/7 but that's not possible anymore due to the error.

Any help or solutions, please?

Can you please tell us the following information:
-exact Procaster version
-computer specs: OS, CPU, RAM, video card
-what bitrate(s) you're streaming at, and what you're trying to stream from your desktop.

Thanks,
Jason

The most recent Procaster, I assume, because I just recently downloaded it around 3 or 4 days ago.

Windows XP
CPU while Procaster is 'Perfect Streaming'.
RAM is 4.00
The video card is dualcore something, I can't find out.
I'm not sure about the bitrate.
I'm trying to stream what I do on the computer, like go on the forums, chat, but mainly playing RGR games and whatever other games I play, such as Amnesia: Dark Descent and Team Fortress 2, etc.

Could you try the 20.2.20 beta, it is located here: http://www.livestream.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7604

To get your full system specifications do the following:
1) Press start, followed by run
2) Type in dxdiag and click on OK
3) Here you will find all your information, you can save this information by clicking save all information.
4) In the bottom, it says save as type, change this to "XML File (*.xml)"
5) Save your settings and send them to procaster@livestream.com but only if you still are having problems with streaming.

I downloaded the beta version, now I have login problems.

I restarted my channel, just in case, and it's still up.

It says; "Login failed"

I am extremely sure I put in the right username and password.

Could you close procaster and try again?

I already did, many times, no change.

Could you do the following:
1) Click on Start → Run → "%HOMEPATH%\Local Settings\Application Data\" (with or without the quotes, this doesn't matter)
2) Then right click on the Procaster folder → Send to → Compressed (zipped) folder
3) Attach the compressed folder to an email and send it to procaster@livestream.com

We will look into it then.
