I thought I would give it a shot, but it keeps crashing on me. FreeTrack finds the iSight camera and shows me my face initially but quickly drops to 0 frames per second and crashes (FreeTrack closes). Any ideas? Cheers, Ally

I played with various things and the crashes do seem to have stopped - I turned the resolution down, and did something with filters - thought not sure what! I gave up with the iSight and am currently using a MSI star cam 370i. After playing with the exposure and brightness this is giving much better results. I'm using a red LED in relatively low light at the moment. Hope this helps.
