Post the full text of the error message here (or send it to me via PM) it usually gives a fairly good idea as to what is going wrong.

Could be that your device isn't supported. From the log it looks like you are using a tv capture device. This may be supported by the old direct show code in sharpcap, but isn't in the latest update.

You can try using the old code by holding down control when sharpcap is starting to stop it from automatically connecting to the device. Then go to the devices menu and chose the second copy of your device that appears in the menu in the old code section.

If that doesn't help then there isn't much I can do to help as I don't have that type of device to ready with.

are you sure you got the xp version ay in that clive the other nigt whilst we was out sidesharp cap was on a wobble kept crashing and would only run at 10 frames per sec ,runs fine on my laptop thst as windows xp on but windows seven wa on one

[bigbox]

Just a quick thanks guys got the problem sorted now. It was a TV card i had installed to put video onto dvd that was causing the problems...

just need some clear skies to test things out now....

Cheers again

[rwg]

That's good news - Sharpcap was trying to preview the first device it found, which happened to be the TV capture card, and the failure was causing a crash. I have made a change for the next version which will mean that this failure to start the camera when the program starts will just show an error message box and allow you to select the correct camera.

cheers,

Robin
