Known Bugs/Workarounds



This is a list of known bugs and workarounds in CDC-X 2.0beta

  • When I start CDC-X, I get a "user panic" or it crashes immediately.
  • My video camera is "stuck" or won't show when I select it in Setup|Web Cam...
  • Autoupdate is broken.
  • When I start CDC-X, I get a "user panic" or it crashes immediately.

    Most of the time this is because the camera initialization has a problem. Try using the Start Menu item labeled "CDC-X No Camera", which will start CDC-X without touching the camera drivers.


    My video camera is "stuck" or won't show when I select it in Setup|Web Cam...

    NOTE: Sometimes it appears that it is stuck when it isn't really stuck.

    We've noticed that some cameras (especially Microsoft Lifecams and some Logitech cams on Win7/64) take an incredibly long time to initialize the drivers on the first run after a reboot. The only solution we know of is to just wait until it finishes.

    Another workaround is to select "No Video" from the Setup|webcam... dialog. Then reselect the camera you want.  Usually some combination of selecting No video, clicking "done", then re-entering Setup|web cam... and select the camera will bring it back alive. After that, avoid changing it unless you really need to :-)


    Autoupdate is broken.

    In the Mac and Linux versions, the autoupdate window redirects you to a link where you can download and reinstall to perform the upgrade.
