Possible Adobe incompatibility
Jonathan
Here is the problem:
I have an USB version Create and Share Camera, K6- 266 MHz chip, 64 MB of ram, and 2MB of video RAM on a Virge card. I just installed several things from Adobe and have encountered a problem I can not solve. I receive an error explaining that 1.) My video card is being accessed by another device or 2.) I do not have enough video RAM to support the present resolution or color depth. I fairly certain that no other device is accessing the camera. Also the resolution, etc. are all the same as before when the camera did in fact work. So any ideas what my problem is. I would greatly appreciate a response.

Run the ISVRDIAG program and post the problem and the text file
that can be saved from ISVRDIAG.
Sounds like a plug and pray IRQ, I/O, Conflict and or Directx conflict.
Run the DXinfo or Re-install Video Drivers and DirectX.

Hello Jonathan
1. The first message sounds like an IRQ conflict with another device. Here is how I usually resolve IRQ conflicts:
IRQ conflicts with pci cards can be a bit deceiving as to the actual nature of the problem.
a. Move the pci card from its slot and place it in another slot. This will often force the BIOS to assign it new resources and resolve the issue.
b. Note the slot that the pci device is installed into; often one can reserve an IRQ in the system BIOS for a PCI slot.
This requires one to remove all devices assigned the desired IRQ in Device Manager.
Then go into the computer BIOS setup and assign the desired IRQ to the slot that the PCI device is installed.
c. There must be a free IRQ available for this to work. Note the devices that are sharing the same IRQ in device manager (again right click > properties on My Computer on the desktop), physically remove one of the devices from the machine.
Remove both devices from device manager.
Then reserve (computer on the device manager) the IRQ with the conflict. When you reboot the machine, Windows* 95/98 will install the device remaining on the free IRQ.
Then unreserve the reserved IRQ.
When you install the other device that was conflicting, it will install the new device on the once reserved IRQ.
2. The second error usually means you are attempting to run at too high a resolution. Try decreasing the resolution and color depth as it appears your video card does not have the requested amount of memory. I usually drop down to 640x480 and 256 colors, then move up from there.
