Yawcam Will Not Run. WinXP

Post by abrogard »

Yawcam used to run fine on this machine, WinXP.
Now it doesn't.
So I installed the latest version
Still wouldn't.
So I uninstalled java and installed latest version. Bit of a niggle there: Java 8 is not 100% guaranteed for WinXP, is it? But what else could I do..
Still wouldn't.
So I carefully uninstalled Yawcam and then installed again. But it went back in the original dir. I admit I didn't delete it.
Still won't.

Doesn't appear in the Task List.
The first time after boot that I try to start it the Task Manager List gives a shiver but I can't see why. Future attempts it doesn't move at all.

Any clues what this possibly could be and/or what I could do about it? I love yawcam. My tool of preference.

Have you changed any hardware connected to the computer lately?
Anyway, the starting point would be to create some debug information:
