Default Amcap (USBPCCamPlus) doesn't seem to work, does it work for you?

Can anyone run this program: Amcap (USBPCCamPlus). I've had difficulty
getting it to work.

http://download.chinavasion.com/drivers

(Its description is about 2/3rds of the way down this long web page
but you can also find it with the find feature in IE (edit menu find
- Ctrl+f - and find with keyword usbpc). But here's a direct hyperlink
to the download file anyway...

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

I plug in my camera but it says...

"Sorry, you have no video capture hardware"

Does it work for you?

Do you actually have a "USB PC Cam Plus" camera? Amcap is one of the
DirectShow sample applications. It's quite possible this company modified
it so it only works with their hardware.

I have the same dental camera which is mentioned in this hyperlink
(below) on the Chinavasion downloads webpage.

http://download.chinavasion.com/drivers

Its the same software that came on the mini-CD that came with my
dental camera.

If you do a search in microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion in google
groups with the word 'amcap' it comes up with 3 results (not including
this thread which for some reason doesn't appear).

The "me too" thing is not a license to do something. ;-)

Let's face facts here - you took a shotgun approach to this - posting to the
following groups:
- microsoft.public.win32.programmer.directx.video
- microsoft.public.win32.programmer.directx.sdk
- microsoft.public.development.device.drivers
- microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware
- microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion

And you got called on it.

Not to mention that no one - thanks to your shotgun approach - can
definitively say if they are running the same operating system as you. At
best they can be decently sure you are running a 32-bit operating system.
They can take a *chance* and consider you might have known what you were
doing when you posted in, "windowsxp.hardware" amongst the total of five
groups that you did it because of the "Windows XP" part as much as the
"hardware" part. It's still pretty iffy though.

You have:
Windows ____ ______ Edition with Service Pack _, 32-bit?

You use what antivirus software?
You use what antimalware software?

You are installing this software for the actual camera - not for programming
purposes it seems - givin what you have I could assume that much - but that
too is guesswork. If true - it kinda knocks out 4 of the 5 groups you
posted to and leaves us with just the "Windows XP" based one... Which would
be good considering the camera's web page states the driver/camera is for
the following OSes:
Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
