Fractured FRAPS: Fixing the flickering and disappearing window issue.



I've been having some issues with FRAPS lately and I appear to have narrowed down the cause to the program's inability to deal with multiple monitors on the Windows 7 Aero Desktop.

This isn't the standard DWM option not showing up.  It's an issue that shows up when you review the captured video.  If you maximize a screen then minimize that same screen you'll see a flicker or the window entirely disappear.

The fix is simple but it's annoying that there's no option in FRAPS to deal with multiple monitors.

I've done a video below showing the problem and my workaround.
