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.

I'm trying to help, so STOP SHOUTING!

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.

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.
