That's neater.

I forgot I'd left the permission on these hyperlinks for 'just me'.
They're now public.

The bottom two which were direct hyperlinks to files rather than the
folders on my Skydrive don't work for some reason but that's hardly a
problem since the two links above them work which give access
to all the files via online folders.


The top two links still say "We can't show you that page" but click on
'Office' and it'll show you my public and shared folders

Here's me doing the links again from scratch. The 1st link showing a
Skydrive folder.

To get the 2nd link I right clicked on a zip file to reveal the
context menu then 'Open Link in New Window' which showed the Skydrive
page to a zip file then copied the link from the address bar.

Then I right clicked on the zip file to reveal the context menu then
'copy shortcut' to ge the 3rd link which is a direct link to the
actual file and not a webpage.

Then i went back to the original webpage from the 1st link showing a
Skydrive folder. Then went to webpage for a txt file.
The 4th link is from right click on the txt file 'copy shortcut' for a
direct link to the file.

For some reason the two 'direct to file' links at the bottom only
worked the same day as i posted them but not since. Today for the 4th
link I'm trying 'open in a new tab' and copying the URL from the
address bar.

Do you mean two drivers are trying to run simultanerously? Unless the
instructions say to do that, it could cause a lot of problems.

I eventually got round to finding a computer (called t3)
which had
never had the


can't find 5&28CODE0&0&2 anywhere but 28CODE must be a
reference to
code 28 error


Makes lots of sense.

I stopped at actually installing the driver for sn9c120
because of the
"not passed windows logo testing" message - although this
same message
appeared for
USBPCCamPlus_v5.18.1.005_120standard(1.3M).exe. I decided
to analyse the setupapi.log and snpstd3.inf files at this
point.


That message is pointless and generally useless as long as you trust the
software you have. MS at one time dreamed of being the king of all software
installations and thought the world would register their software with them.
Well, no one did of course, or hardly anyone, which makes sense. If it IS MS
trusted, then it should be fine to use. If it's not, it's up to the user to
know where they got the software from and to know it's safe to use (free of
bad code, malicious code, etc). So it's quite safe to use as long as you are
sure the place you got it from is a white hat. In other words, you used
common senseg.
...


Again the direct-to-file link only seems to work the same day. Still
atleast the two http://cid links to the folders work.

Anyway I recently used another computer. This day this computer is
called t4. I thought i'd check out device manager before installing
HPBasic Starter Camera driver and it shows a code 1: this device is
not configured correctly
I've uploaded JPG screengrabs to a zip file here...

http://cid-64f5892d2f88d17f.office.l....Public/t4.zip

Then installed HPBSC driver and the camera worked. Then i installed
amcap USBPCCamPlus_v5.18.1.005_120standard(1.3M).exe

http://download.chinavasion.com/down...dard(1.3M).exe
(is the file)

....tried the camera but ofcourse it wants to install sn9c120 which i
resist. then uninstalled amcap. Then plug in the camera and it calls
it 'usb camera' 'new hardware found' which last time i when
uninstalled amcap months ago it didn't (that maybe cos i installed the
sn9c120 driver too). I install HPBSC driver and test the camera and it
works! This is a success - no permanent damage to the operating
system.

In device manager 'USB Camera' has moved from 'other devices' to
'imaging devices' that is until i installed the HPBSCdriver when in
imaging devices it turned from a !(exclamation mark)"usb camera" to HP
Basic Starter Camera.

Screenshot of HPBSC driver properties says version 5.18.1.2 dated 16
Mar 2007.

Next i want to see if i can have amcap working with the Hewlett
Packard BSC driver.

I did manage to install Amcap till the warning window logo message
appeared and the system tray pop up said i had a webcam attached, i
then unplugged my dental camera, so then i finish off the
installation. Then am surprised that it wants to restart the computer
because the last installation didn't want to. So I'm thinking its
because the camera was plugged in during instalation. so then i
restart the pc and it occurs to me that i could've tested the camera
right there before restart the PC but its too late. when windows loads
up theres a error message - something missing - i try amcap - it don't
work and nothing in cameras and scanners.

(The next test (on another day in the future) would be to install the
sn9c120 driver which seems to come with amcap)

I then uninstall amcap again from add remove programs - (which
mentions Sonix for technical support.)

My 3rd installation: i didn't have the camera plugged in but it still
wanted to restart pc but before i did that, i thought i'd see if
scanners and cameras in my computer had HPBSC driver and it did and
the dental camera worked! I then tried amcap and it worked with the
camera too! although the frame rate seemed slower than in scanners and
cameras.

Indeed as it shows on the screen grab, it says 3.5 fps although it
also say 0.884 Meg/sec which seems a lot. Why's the frame rate so
little yet the file size is so big?

Any thoughts are welcome.

If you do a search in microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion
in google groups with the word 'amcap' it comes up with 3

doesn't appear).
