ScreenToaster http://www.screentoaster.com/ [you can record your screen online]
Wow those are great. Adding them now. I wish I found ScreenToaster awhile ago that is brilliant! I'm going to start using that more. See there is always more to add people just try to keep them to Freeware or Shareware .
i might be able to help you out here what do you want in your key logger?
there's hawkeye keylogger which is very simple to use but lacks some features
there's emissary which can take screen shots of the computer and it has a nice log setup
it all really depends on what you want in your keylogger or what you want to use it for.
Pm if you want links to any of those programs without having to go through sharecash

AutoHotkey: Good for setting up automation, macros, remapping keys, keyloggers, aimbots, etc etc etc. Uses a fairly easy to learn programming language. Can also wrap the scripts into EXE files so you can run them independently. http://www.autohotkey.com/
Portable App Creator: Convert regular apps to run without needing to be installed. Comp will run a lot more smoothly without all that shit installed. Will greatly expand the amount of software you can run off a portable HD as well. http://portableapps.com/node/9909
T-Search: Light and easy to use memory hacker. http://www.timsvault.com/cheattools/tsearch.htm
Also, Hirens boot cd is the shit. They recently came out with a new version that has a proper GUI.
