Hi, I'm a newbie too. I tried a google groups search for "creative
webcam" together with 'timershot' and it seems that this question has
been asked a few times - but I din't find a solution :((

Sometimes a register entry is needed as a 'hook' from one piece of
software to another to enable the two to link up automatically. If this
is the reason for the problem it's not too difficult to put the key in
the registry by hand. But you need to know the correct key, and enter it
exactly right

I'm sure someone in these forums will know the answer to this, but you
might need to ask a few times - like I did when I first posted with a
problem a few days ago.

Best of luck

Indeed, I do need the the correct key and hope someone will come up with a
solution.
Thanks for participating, I though I was wrongly posting my message as no
one was
responding till you came around. Thanking you and hope a solution will ber
posted
soon.
