FRAPS still counts my fps after I uninstalled it

[Liger30]

I uninstalled FRAPS so I could get dxtory and not have multiple fps counters, but after I uninstalled FRAPS, it still had a mini fps counter at the top left. Does anyone know how to fix this?

LOL, there's no such thing as a phantom FPS counter that keeps running after you uninstall the program using it. Either you didn't actually uninstall it, or you're seeing a different counter, because Fraps does not allow you to record the counter showing in the vid.

I have both Fraps and DxTory retail versions and I can tell you that it makes sense to keep both. Reason being, Fraps takes up less RAM when you just want a counter, and at times DxTory has issues with some games.

First make sure that the counter is from fraps and not something else, once you do so, do this :
ctrl + alt + delete -> task manager -> background tasks -> search for a task with a name like "fraps.exe" or "fraps32.exe" once you find it force stop it and the counter should go away
