What version of OS X do you have?

Hi,
Assuming you have the latest version of Quicktime Player: Quicktime X, you can just launch the application and then choose File…New Screen Recording… or press “Command, Control, N”
Hope that helps

Thats why I asked what version of the OS he has. QuicktimeX is ONLY available with Snow Leopard.

Hi Guys,
You’ll have to forgive me as all I know about Macs is all Final Cut based. I clicked on Finder and it said Finder version 10.5.8, is that the same as my OS X version?

You are correct, 10.5.8 is the version of your operating system.
Version 10.6 “Snow Leopard,” ships with a newer version of Quicktime which has native support for screen capturing. One option is to upgrade your system to the new operating system at a cost of $29.
Another option, if you don’t want to deal with upgrading your operating system would be to purchase screen capturing software.
A quick Google search found this link of 10 popular screen capturing apps. I haven’t used any of them as I have Quicktime X, but they all offer trial periods so you can test them out for yourself.
hope that helps!
