crelf Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Is there a reason you're not using the NI-IMAQ for USB Camera driver that we suggested? Without a detailed knowledge of the dll you're using, then I can't help. Quote Link to comment

The inability to install the driver is where you should be looking - I'm not going to help you with the other DLL because I don't know it, and I suspect that you don't know it either. Tell me why you can't install NI IMAQ for USB Cameras. Quote Link to comment
kings123 Posted April 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 I am really sorry if i had hurt you. I dint use any phrase which would have hurt you.sorry again.The problem i have is when i try to install it it says that it requires labview 7.0 or higher but the one i am using is labview 8.0 which is higher than that.
