Ok, I guess it is time to back up another ten yards and punt here. I am still unsuccessful at getting ccv 1.2 or 1.3 to run on my desktop even though it runs just fine on my laptop. For a bit I had thought that it had to be hardware related but I’m not so sure now. I think that there is possibly some software on my laptop that is not on my desktop that is allowing the laptop to work and not the desktop. So far what I have been told is to make sure I have quicktime and flash installed- which I do. Anything else? I have tried every suggestion from earlier threads I have posted with no prevail. I have tried to look for a beginners guide to ccv but nothing really pertaining to additional software needed to run ccv. ccv beta works by the way but why not 1.2 or 1.3? The ps3eye test works, but when I try to open ccv it crashes just before it opens all the way and wants to send an error to microsoft. Do I need the latest Java, Directx, Flash Player, etc? What could I be missing? I thought maybe doing a format and clean xp install would resolve the issue but now I think that I still dont have some piece of software needed for ccv. Any help please is much appreciated and thanks to those with ideas in my threads I posted earlier. I wish those ideas would have been a solution to my problem.

oh yeah, forgot to mention. I have 2008 redistributable installed

Can you try to launch CCV from the command line? Open cmd.exe on your computer (you can search for it) and then put in the directory where the exe to CCV is to launch it. This way when it crashes it’ll leave any messages that caused it on the screen. Then report back what the message(s) are.

what OS are you running?

Thanks cerupcat, I will give that a try. zviangi, I am using windows xp pro with sp3 installed. I know it has nothing to do with the os though because it is the exact same copy of xp pro on both computers.

cerupcat, well I did what you suggested. Not sure what these results will reveal but here it goes. The program runs through the calobration for the camera and then runs through a long list of filters and such. When it gets to the end it says it is starting in full screen mode and that is right when it crashes and says community core vision has encountered a problem and needs to close and wants to send an error report to microsoft. Why would opening up in full screen mode crash the program? Do you think it could be because of my video card? Video card driver conflict? I’m going to be buying an updated m.b., cpu, and video card soon so maybe the problem will go away but I hate to walk away from problems without figuring it out. Its driving me nuts not knowing why this opens up on my laptop but not on my pc with all the same software installed. It just does not make sense.

I’d recommend copying and pasting exactly what it’s saying (the whole thing) here so people can take a look.

Can I copy and paste from a DOS window? Never tried it before so just asking. If not I will just take some screen shots
