ToUcam 840 - Cant Start Graph
Same problem over & over endlessly ever since I bought
this Phillips ToUcam 840. Have searched the web endlessly for the solution only to find hundreds of posts having the same problem - but no solution anywhere! So the expensive webcam sits. What is going on with this "Cant Start Graph" failure to record warning? How do I fix it. Like others have tried everything. Do not tell me I need to buy more software - will throw the damned cam away first! TIA, Ken |

Go to File and Set File. Name a file in the box where you want vids saved to. Now, you must also set the size of the file so go down immediately below Set File and click Save or File Allocation - this sets the size of the file. Set how many ever megs you want the file to be, and close the box. Thats it. Go back to VP and open and you can now Start a Capture! The problem is French software. Phillips explains nothing and wont even respond to an email even though thousands of these cams have been heavily marketed by US sales scum. Almost everyone gets Cant Start Graph sometime, but the above is the solution for the lousy French software. The irony is once you know this Trick the software is pretty stable and will perform. Many poeople use Ktools. I dont! Im cheap. I expect what I pay hundreds of dollars for to work! Without sending more!! Scumbag sales people in the USA are a plague. Good luck. KLM |

Do not tell me I need to buy more software - will throw the damned cam away first! If you are on XP the trick is to not install anything, no driver, no software. XP has drivers for Philips ToUcam webcams pre-installed. Just plug in the camera and wait for confirmation that the camera is ready. Capture software? There is a lot to choose from. I would suggest K3CCDTools for astronomy use http://www.pk3.org/Astro/index.htm?k3ccdtools.htm Clear skies Carsten A. Arnholm http://arnholm.org/ N59.776 E10.457 |
