Camera Question (No Processed Video)

Hey guys,

My camera works in "Realtime Video" mode but gives me a black screen when I switch to "Processed Video" ?

I'm trying to enable facial and motion tracking, and can't seem to make any of it work. I have the video signal, now what (lol)

Any suggestions/resources would be greatly appreciated:)

Really great info Rich! Thanks! I'm going to attempt the windows 7 starter route (optimized to just run ARC). If that doesn't work, it's time for a new laptop;) I'll update later.

Thanks Rich, I will do the same and install window 8 :-)

Rich. Windows 7 (starter) on a 7 yr old laptop (1.6 ghz/2 gigs ram) is running ARC like a charm. The video trouble I was having is all cleared up. Vista was indeed the problem!

I owe ya one!

@clode - check the minimum specs for Windows 8. I'm unsure of them but older computers may have issues if it demands too much. If it's too high for your laptop try Win 7 starter. While it may cost a little more (however might not) it should work better than Windows 8.

@joy_actual - I'm pleased to hear it works, I had very little doubt that Vista was the issue after seeing 100% of the reports on no processed video/out of memory problems were running Vista but confirmation is great:).
