Been using a VA12A with 4 cameras to capture/email images for a year or so on Windows 7 64bit, but it unexpected stopped working yesterday.
I've tried uninstalling, reloading, etc - windows tells me that there is a code 43 error and that the device is reporting a malfunction.

I even tried restoring my computer to a previously point despite the fact I didn't knowingly change anything, and that did not help.

Is it likely the video converter that is shot?

Thanks

I've seen this code with my va12 as well switching to another usb input helped once it was working I moved it back to the origial port and it has worked fine since./

That is a good tip - I've seen it once or twice resolved by doing the exact same thing.  But no luck with that this time.

I tried on a fresh computer and it wont work there either, thinking the converter has quit working...

If you tested on another PC with the va12 drivers loaded it has most likely died

VA-12's are notoriously sensitive (probably to voltage spikes of even a small magnitude)... Unplugging one with the machine running has killed one of mine, and from what I hear other folks as well. My advice is when you replace it, only plug or unplug it with the computer cold stone dead off.
