Troubleshooting
I’ve installed the USB Adapter, why doesn’t the picture appear?
Connect the USB Adapter to the computer using the attached USB cable. Check to
see that the video source (S-video or composite) is set correctly (see page 9). Ensure
that the USB port is enabled in your computer’s BIOS and in the Windows Control
Panel/System Device Manager.
How do I know the driver for the USB Adapter has been properly installed?
Right-click the My Computer icon on the desktop. Choose Properties. Click the
Hardware tab, then Device Manager. Click the plus sign next to the icon labeled
Imaging. Find S19 USB Video Capture. If the Imaging folder is missing, you need to
reinstall the drivers.
How do I capture audio?
Audio can be captured through the audio input jack using Video Impression.
What do I need for videoconferencing and video mail?
You’ll need a video camera, an audio source (microphone, CD player, etc.), head-
phones or speakers, and videoconferencing software (e.g., Microsoft NetMeeting
®
).
Why can’t I install the USB Adapter with Windows 95?
Windows 95 does not support the USB Adapter. You will need to upgrade to
Windows 98 (or a later version) to use the USB Adapter.
