QTP does not record on any applications

After installing QuickTest Professional you attempt to record against an application but find that QuickTest Professional is unable to record anything other than "SystemUtil.Run" commands.

First make sure you have followed this

If you have done as mentioned above then try attempting the following:
Select the option to record and run on any open application

1. Go to Test -> Record and Run Settings.
2. Select the Windows Applications tab.
3. Select the "Record and run test on any open Windows-based application" option.

Note:
The "Record and run on these applications (opened on session start)" option (or its equivalent for other add-in environments) is the default option for QTP.
