Hi,

After installing the driver I tried timeshot from Microsoft Power Toys and it did not work for me.
(no device found). Is there a way to make it work or the driver just supports specific applications?

Thanks


PS: timershot can be found @ http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/Downloads/powertoys/Xppowertoys.mspx

I will look into this when I get the chance. I currently don’t have XP installed anywhere and this program runs on XP only so I can’t really test it at the moment. The driver exposes the camera to the system as a DirectShow video capture source. If timershot is expecting some other video source, (i.e. imaging device) it will not see the camera. Maybe this is the issue you are experiencing.

PS: Timershot dates back to 2002 (early days of DirectShow) therefore I am not sure if DS capture is supported in that program.
