Class : Apprenti Posts : 6 Registered on : 03/08/2009 Off line	Hi Guys. Yesterday I set up free track with a MS VX500 just to get an idea of it before I bought the necessary camera. It worked perfectly aside from there was still an infrared sensor and no light shielding. So today I bought a VX3000, and modded it. But when I first switched on free track, I got the usual cam pic, but about 4/5 down, there was like a cross hair in the picture and the LED's went red when moved into this section. Then I closed and opened the software and this time there was no led's when moved into the crosshair section. I tried adjusting the resolution and now the entire pic has a crosshair and the camera doesn't show. I see it switch on though, and it works perfectly in other applications. ideas? Regards Itai

It seems as though the screening mask that free track puts in to make the pic black doesn't work properly and is either all black with the cross hair, or only covers a small portion of the area.

On the other PC there is mostly an image and the bottom piece is black and only shows the LED's, but the rest of the picture shows the available light. It must be ab incompatability something with the MS VX3000, as it worked fine with a VX500 ... I will try again with the 500. Please note that in the image ... the camera is switched on, but there is no picture as you can see. It works fine in other software though.

It must be a driver issue conflict with this camera and the camera software ... its the only logical explanation for me, because the camera works fine. Any idea what I can do to get it working ... please someone help.
