I will be buying a laptop soon , but I have an old desktop a hp 3200 32 bit I know it is not very powerful. I hook up the camera on it and ezbuilder shuts down , is this because of the 32 bit or should it run?

What are the specs on the HP3200? All I can find is a printer.
Also what OS are you running?
Any other programs on there?
Any other hardware connected?
You said when you connect the camera ARC shuts down? How does it shut down? Just closes by itself? Any error messages? Is it only when you set up the camera control or when you plug in the USB dongle?
When you say as soon as you click on the camera, what do you mean? When you click to add a control, then camera and add the camera control?
If you intend to use this PC solely for ARC after you get your new laptop it may pay to upgrade the OS to Windows 7 Starter, it should run fine (depending on the CPU speed and number of cores etc). Using XP restricts the voice recognition (i.e. it's not supported without extra fixes). This would probably solve the other issues also. If you don't plan to be able to wipe it clean then if you give more details on the error message (a screen grab of the error message may help) and confirm I've understood when it happens I'll see if I can figure out the problem.
Just out of interest, what version .net framework is installed?
windows xp if you are using it only see's 3 gb of memory
I had that same problem while back with a PICO design mother board its only uses 1 gb of memory and cant upgrade it
But the PICO does work great for other projects i have
It was a video processing power for mine,it was while back,when i got my first EZB and wanted touse my PICO board PX11000G ,ALSO HAVE PX10000G too,one runs at 1.2 ghz and the other at 1.O ghz
EVEN AT 1 GB of memory you internet might be slow too.
My dads computer has that problem was 2.4 ghz at 1 gb of memory when i added more 2gb of memory it worked fine,if not my dad having a problem its my 2 sisters having a problem or other in my family,always call on me to upgrade or repair thier computer,and my girlfiend too ,till i bought her a really good fast one I3 core a t 3.0 ghz , WITH WINDOWS 7,doesnt really like windows 7 but came w ith the computer
1 Gb of memory is perfectly acceptable. There are robots on here which use netbooks with Windows 7 starter and 1Gb memory and have no problems.
when i upgrade to 4 gig of memory it fix it,memory is so super cheap and very easy to install
doesnt hurt anything by not trying it.
in one computer i have if not all, i added 4gb of memory when it turn on it shows 4 gig installed
and then when windows loaded it shows only 3gb of memory
like the comper i am using it has installed 4gb of memory and in my computer under properties it shows 2.96 mb of memory using a quad core 2.66 mhz with 32 bit windows xp pro
on my super fast I5 quad processor (not quad core) but 4 I5 cpu server computer wth 4 terabyte hard drives running windows 7 it shows it 32gb and i think i can add more,need to get at the manual again ,using 64 bit
its just my video server with photoshop and some other high end software
so in windows 7 it shows the correct memory,but not in windows xp
i heard the most you should in install is 3gb of memory on windows xp or the rest is a waste
bt some computers only have one slot ,so you have to use 4gbof memory
i downgraded on i bought to windows XP PRO if other like its great
i do have windows 7 pro on my server only because first i need 64 bits and lot of memory and it works great with 4 different I5 processors,and 4 monitors
