Anyway, I have a project that I'd like to do that would require two cams... two of the same (or simlar) cam. So, I got on eBay and got myself another QC 3000 ($20). I already have the drivers installed from my existing cam and everything works great, except when I plug my second cam in. Right when I plug it in, Windows XP notices it and I get the message bubble thing correctly telling me what I plugged in, then a few seconds later [url=http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/6338/06070003oy3.jpg]I get a rather painful BSOD[/url]. Then, I'm sitting here thinking, "This isn't supposed to happen, my computer isn't supposed to BSOD!" (I can't recall the last time I've had a BSOD before this!) I even tried booting with it still plugged in. I get the welcome screen, but not long after I login (but before I get to see my desktop), I get that same BSOD. The only way around it AFAIK is to just not have my second cam plugged in. I also have my sister's QC Orbit plugged in (I tried it for my project, but it doesn't cut it), though I had the hardest time getting it's drivers installed, once I found the CD for it, it has been running along side my QC 3000 with no problems. I tried getting the second QC 3000 working with and without the Orbit plugged in. Thinking it may solve the problem, but my expectations weren't very high, I installed SP3 and the latest updates (I haven't done Windows Update for ages BTW). The updates didn't fix the problem a bit. So the question is: [b]Can two of the very same cam be run on Windows XP simultaneously?[/b] If so, how?
