    Is there anyway to remove all keys from the registry that are associated with Fraps (that's the program name)?

    The program uninstaller should take care of the registry keys. However, if there are some left behind, there's a couple of options:

    1. You can manually search the registry. (start --> run 'regedit')
    2. You can use a registry cleaner. Check the 'Registry' section of majorgeeks download area. They have lots of great ones there.

    Of course, like anytime you edit the registry, you should have good backups, as mistakes can be costly.

    Use the 'regedit' command at the Run box and when youre in the Registry Editor, go to Edit > Find and type in 'Fraps' as you say. But I must advise for you to BACKUP your registry and save it to your Local C: Root (Incase your system gets hosed up you can easily find the backup) And keep pressing F3 to 'Find Next' related to 'Fraps' and press F4 to delete the selected key. But once you delete the key, you can not retrieve it (unless backup is made) Be aware of the problems that may arise when editing your registry!
