Windows XP crash

[Nothlit]

I love Yawcam...it has everything I need. But I ran into a rather nasty bug. I'm using an older-model Logitech QuickCam Express, USB, connected to my Compaq Evo N600c laptop running Windows XP Professional. If I unplug the camera while Yawcam is running, I get a critical stop error (blue screen of death) and my computer reboots by itself. However, if Yawcam is not running, I can unplug the camera without any problems. Any ideas what might be causing this? Right now it's just a minor inconvenience to have to remember to shut down Yawcam first, but it would be nice if this bug could be squashed.

Wow, I have never tried to unplug my camera when Yawcam is running. I have to test it right away

Ok, I'm back. The preview window went black, but I didn't get a bluescreen. I think what happens depends on the drivers for your camera. I'm using Windows XP Pro and a Logitech QuickCam Pro 3000 so I don't think there should be so big difference. Perhaps it helps if you update your drivers?

I don't have control over what's happening when the camera is unplugged. So I will not be able to fix this problem. Sorry! We have to hope that the latest drivers will fix the problem!

Have anyone else noticed this matter?

Oh well, I guess I will just have to get used to shutting down Yawcam first. The only reason I need to unplug the camera is because it's running on a laptop that has to go with me to class from time to time. I'll see if I can crash it again and catch the name of the buggy driver this time. Maybe it will shed some light on the problem. Unfortunately, these are the newest drivers, so I don't think much can be done about it.

I'm sad to hear that you allready are using the latest drivers.
But do you really have to unplug? Haven't you heard of live broadcasted classes?
