If you get a warning
This may be due to a conflict with another camera or capture device. If this is the case you should uninstall the
software you have just loaded and also any other camera software that may be on your PC.
Uninstalling old drivers and devices
The most common problem occurring during installation is the presence of a driver for a similar, old device. The best
solution is remove all the drivers related to the old devices before installing the new driver. Make sure you delete
programs and drivers relating to old, unused and similar devices and nothing else.
1. Enter Windows ‘Safe Mode’ (press F8 when starting Windows and then select ‘Safe Mode’ from the menu which
will be displayed).
2. Click on ‘Start – Settings – Control Panel’ and double-click on ‘Add/Remove Programs’ icon.
3. Find all the programs for similar, old devices and remove these by clicking on the ‘Add/Remove’ button. In
‘Safe Mode’, it is possible for some programs to appear twice - remove all programs which appear twice.
4. Remove the camera driver for this camera.
5. Restart the computer.
Now re-install the camera driver following the instructions in the previous pages.
