Hi!
Is it possible to use my USB webcam with more than one software the same
time? When I start the webcam with the first software and then start it on
the second one, it says "video driver can not be loaded" because it is used
by the first software already. Can I anything do to solve this problem or
must I buy a second webcam?
Best regards,
Patrick

I'm using two diff. software with one camera. I first run trackercam
(www.trackercam.com free download) and after that I will run webcam32
and select the trackercam as my source. So if you want to run two
different programs with one cam, you can at least do it this way,
don't know if this works for you...

www.softcam.com - I haven't used it. But I think it can do what you
want.
