[RESOLVED] Time USB Viewcam Video/Photo camera

[misery]

ok, so someone gave me the webcam that came with their Time pc, (as they never used it) and i tried to install it, by getting the following file:

i read the readme, and it said not to have the webcam plugged in, i did this; but when i come to install it...it messes up, and tells me that the camera is still connected to my pc, when it clearly isn't.



i'm using win2k btw

Do you have any other USB peripherals plugged in like a scanner or some other twain device on your system? If so you might try detaching them and uninstalling any associated software B4 trying to install the Vidcam.

A mind is a terrible thing to baste... I find marinating it with beer is much less terrible.

ok, i'll try that - that might be the problem...

i tried removing my other USB devices (scanner and cable modem) but that didnt work

i'll try ininstalling my twain devices.

hmm, well i tried uninstalling my scanner, but that didnt work....

i searched for twain, and it showed a couple of other folders inside the twain one, but they're empty and i can't delete them....could they be messing it up?

in an attempt to fix it, i formatted, so i wouldnt have any twain drivers to speak of...and it still wouldnt work, the install program still said my camera was connected...

i've tried manually istalling the .inf's and that didnt work either
