Just did some reading and found the 3.1.5186 version is possibly the answer as my GP Cam is the older version...

I know I'm waffling now but 3.1.5186 worked , may be useful for any one Googling the problem.

Hi,

Glad you found that – there was a change to the Altair camera SDK just after that point that added support for new models of cameras but no longer supports the very oldest GP cams. I'm afraid there's not much I can do about this particular problem so the best option is to use that older version of SharpCap for the older camera.

Cheers, Robin
