in your computer’s BIOS. Refer to your computer’s documentation for information
on the BIOS.

Reinstall the video capture drivers and reboot.
The image is too bright even though exposure and brightness levels have been
adjusted.

There may be a very bright object in the camera’s view.
Avoid pointing the camera at very bright objects (for example, sunlight, anticipated light
sources, or highly reflective surfaces).
Insufficient system resources reserved for the USB port, causing the computer to
be unable to function.
There are too many devices in the computer, causing IRQ conflicts with the
computer’s USB controller.
Do the following:
1. Remove some devices from the computer.
2. Restart the computer. The computer will automatically re-allocate the resources.
