Using Orbit/Sphere MP-1 Camera says No Device Active

I've managed to get the camera to connect once, but all other times I try and turn on the camera by clicking on the control I get the message "No Active Device"

I'm using the latest Logitech drivers!

Is this a known issue??

Thanks

Not a known issue as far as I know. I have one MP and two AFs running on my setup and they are all doing fine. However, since my MP is hooked up to an old Win2000 laptop I can't run the latest (11.x) drivers, because those drivers are XP/Vista only. So my MP is using the 10.5.0.1091 driver. OTOH, my AFs are hooked to an XP box and are using current 11.x drivers.

My thoughts:

1) Are you positive some other program isn't trying to use your camera? The drivers don't offer "splitter" funtionality, meaning only one prog at a time can use the cam.

2) Does the cam work consistently well with an extremely basic video capture program such as Microsoft's WMCAP.exe or AMCAP.exe utilities?

3) Can you try downgrading drivers to 10.5.0.1091 as a test? You can get all old driver versions from ftp.logitech.com.
