Video Capture Software

PinkPanther

Hello all does anyone know of a software package that records video using a cam (as supposed to a usual video source) under Win 2000? I have an Intel USB Video Camera III but can find no software to use it to record.

Switching from UP to MP

CUViper

Hi I seem to remember this being an issue a while back, and i don't remember if it was ever resolved. You CAN install another processor without reinstalling win2k. . . the instructions are here on the ms site: Hope this is helpful!.

Problem running Asheron's Call and Ultima Online on Win 2k

rameen

While running Asheron's Call the sound stops working completely about 5 minutes into the game. While trying to run Ultima Online the game either crashes out to windows when I choose the character or it crashes randomly while playing.

How to permanently remove "links" in favorites?

Andy_25

Hi, Does anyone know how I can remove the links item in the favorites menu? When I delete it, explorer 5 just adds it back the next time I start explorer. Also the my documents item is kinda annoying but I cant seem to remove them.

3dmarks in WIN 2000 are low

Unrealistic

I scored a 5100 with my system in WIN98, so I decided to load 3dmarks2000 and give it a shot while I have WIN2000 loaded. 2848 is what I scored. I went from a 5100 in WIN 98 to a 2848 in WIN2000. Of course every driver on my WIN 2000 is practically beta still.
