If you get a warning
This may be due to a conflict with another camera or capture device. If this is the case you should uninstall the

Uninstalling old drivers and devices
The most common problem occurring during installation is the presence of a driver for a similar, old device. The best
solution is remove all the drivers related to the old devices before installing the new driver. Make sure you delete
programs and drivers relating to old, unused and similar devices and nothing else.
