FN-FORUM: Windows XP and cameras

date posted 8th August 2004 10:42

Hi all

I had a webcam set up pointing at the pond in my mum's garden. I just
used the driver software that came with the cam and slowview. This
allowed me to set it to take a picture very minute which got saved using
an incremental file name. However she's upgraded to XP and now
everything seems to go through the built in XP picture software. Which
doesn't allow access to any of the camera controls, nor does it let you
do timed pictures. Is there an easy way round this? Or should I dive
into MSDN and look to write some software myself?
