SharpCap can't see camera on Microsoft Surface
Posted: Mon Aug 06, 2018 3:48 pm
I downloaded SharpCap Pro 3.1 (with license).
Installation is on a Microsoft Surface Pro (Windows 10), which has a full sized USB-3 connector
I installed the SharpCap Prerequisites.
During installation of SharpCap, some text in yellow flashed on my screen for a fraction of a second saying something about Java or Javascript. It was far too fast to read and I could not get the message to repeat.
When I started up SharpCap, everything looked normal (I have used SharpCap on a laptop for about a year), but the program could not locate the camera (ZWO ASI174MM). I used the same USB cable and camera just a couple of days before for acquisition (using FireCapture), so they are known to be good.
Where do I go from here?
Can anyone tell me what that Java message was about? I wouldn't be surprised if that's the problem. I simply didn't have time to read the message.
Thanks much
