Installing Jing, Wink, or Camstudio is one option. There are other ones like those, but those are my favorites.

My favorite option is to use a web based java screencaster. I've found that

http://www.screentoaster.com/
http://skoffer.com/
all work very well.

Give one of them a try and let me know how it goes.

Whenever I make videos (even though it's not very frequently), I use HyperCam to capture footage from my computer and Sony Vegas 9 to edit clips together.

Here I use free software. I use CamStudio with a lossless AVI codec and VirtualDUB for editing, and then I export the video at 7000kbps and higher using the x264 (AKA H.264) codec from SourceForge. The results come out very nice at the end.

Good stuff and sounds pretty easy too. Thanks for sharing.
