Thanks for the quick reply.
Found a solution to the problem http://forum.mirillis.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=30431

New game only released a couple of days ago but Action refuses to show in game and cannot therefore record anything.
I could understand perhaps if the F6 & F9 conflicted with key setting within the game but I've checked all settings and still no joy.
Tried with Fraps and no problem.
