Many people uninstall and reinstall AbelCam trying to solve configuration problems.

While this might work with software that writes a default configuration in the registry on installation, reinstallation does not cure AbelCam problems.

To recover from faulty configuration and/or to reset the configuration you need to remove (or rename) the AbelCam folder.

If you don't know how to find it, click on Configuration Folder in the AbelCam / Web window.

If AbelCam is not starting up anymore, you can also follow this procedure:

  • click Start / Run
  • enter %programdata% and press enter - this will open an explorer window.
  • navigate to "Seiz System Engineering"
  • rename the AbelCam folder, single click on AbelCam and press <F2>
  • now you can start AbelCam, and it will behave as if there was started for the first time - no reinstall required
     

Similar procedures can be used to back up or deactivate camera configurations within the AbelCam folder.

The camera configuration folders start with cam... - renaming them to save-cam... or similar will deactivate a camera.
