I unplugged the USB connector for the VA11a while moving another USB cable. When I plugged it back in and restarted my computer, Active home could no longer find the VA11a. It had been reinstalled as an Intel Camera Pro interface. I reinstalled and now my video adapter and USB drivers both show as X10 and AHP fires up without error. However I cannot get any video from any of my cameras. All I get is the logo screen in IWitness. I can pan and tilt the cameras but just don't get any video. Any ideas?

Go to the Windows controll panel and click on the system icon, click on the  hardware tab. Scroll down and under "imaging devices" is the VX11A video capture listed. If it is not you will need to reinstall it. If you search the X10  knowledge base you will find instructions on how to do this.

Good Luck,

Jim

Thanks for your reply. I have already been through that procedure. The VA11a is listed and windows reports that is is working properly.

You may want to try this. It was posted by Tuiceman and seemed to work for another person with your problem

Nothing against JimC, he's a very helpful guy (we 'might' even be 'electronic buddies'  ), but a few of us ("Old-Timers") have this "Pet Peeve " of:

Have you tried the search option?        Thanks Tuicemen!!!     

While JimC was kind enough to REMEMBER  :- the answer, SEARCH  for it, *AND* POST IT  for your benefit - *YOU*  could have done the same thing yourself!
