I don't utilize it often, but today I (using version 1.30.3.0 on Windows 7 x64) wanted to record an individual window, so I fired up Action and clicked the "active desktop region" button.

When I did this, the UI vanished, and I was left with the tray icon and a minimized (?) window on the taskbar, which does nothing when clicked. The green dotted line rectangle (along with its few buttons underneath) that wraps itself around windows for me to select one, doesn't appear at all. It SEEMS that it's stuck somehow, as when I hover over the Action taskbar window, it seems like I can see it at the bottom, in the popup preview thing ( https://i.imgur.com/R4K9O9a.png ). No matter what I do, I can't get back into the main UI without right-clicking the tray icon and closing Action. When I try pressing the hotkey to start recording, the tray icon does display the R that shows I'm recording, but when I stop recording, I find that what was recorded was my entire desktop (is the selector selecting my entire desktop as if it's one huge window?).

What's going on? Is anyone else experiencing this?

EDIT: I found the newest version that was available when I purchased Action (and wasn't having this issue), and the issue still happened, so I reinstalled the latest version, and I'm going to start closing programs and killing processes, and see if one of them is the culprit. Will report in a second edit if I find the culprit.

EDIT 2: I killed every non-essential process, but the problem will not go away. This is extremely frustrating...

Bump? Is no one else experiencing this? I wanted to try installing an old version of the program that worked correctly to see if it's indeed a bug, or an interaction with my setup based on something I did/changed, but I don't see any way to do that.

If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

Hi, i have the same issue after trying to record a test run of Forza 6...now everything works except the active region one, the window get lost somwhere and it looks like the program gets locked up....
