Kinect - Shows But No Go

Well I found a Kinect on Craigs List for $30.00 and just couldn't pass it up. Got all the drivers loaded and it works good in Amcap and Skype, twice as nice as my USB Logitech cam but can't connect to it in EZB. It shows in the camera device but gives a error when starting ...:( What a great picture this thing gives, really nice and clear. Can't wait till EZB can run it.

I'm not a programmer :( I thought that if the pc and other camera software was able to see the Kinect that maybe EZB would too. It did if fact show it in the camera drop down but threw out a error. DJ mentioned several months ago that the Kinect was on his to-do list so just figured I would just wait.

What I found out using the KINECT i have 4 of them ,a few wont work with other software ,it depend on how old the firmware chip is, and i had to send one back.

SO you might check the date code and find out when it was made.

You can update the firmware of the Kinect. My Kinect for Xbox360 has updated it's firmware when used on the Xbox360 in the past, I'm sure there is a way to do it from PC too if you check the Kinect forums and websites.
