Webcam problem with K-lite codec installed...

-ShiN- — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 20:42:49 +0800

I have met a same problem with several times that a webcam either the internal usb video cam on notebook or the external webcam(driverless) for desktop/laptop, even after I install the driver or it just a plug and play webcam.

the problem is when i click the USB Video icon in My Computer, the webcam cannot preview/view and will show an error message that says something like "......... is using by another person........ " I though it would be in use by the Windows Live Messenger/Yahoo Messenger, but after I close/uninstall it still the same...

the problem still there when after I installed a webcam software such as Cyberlink Youcam.. etc
I used to try to format reinstall OS too, damn ! it was wasting my time

last time,I face the same problem and i came out an idea to uninstall the K-lite codec, then I try the webcam again and it was finally worked ! but when i reinstall again the K-lite codec, it was came again the problem....

Is there any solution without uninstall the K-lite codec ? you know, some video wouldn't be play if without any certain codec...

any expert tutorial please ~

How to Create a Ghost Image with just 600MB+ ?

-ShiN- — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 16:28:29 +0800

Hi, I have a question.

I got a Ghost Image of Windows XP with just about 600MB size from someone over internet, and it worked to me to overwrite/restore my corrupted Windows to another new fresh Windows in my PC.

I do know to create a Image by using Symantec Norton Ghost but the size of image that I created is about 1.5GB or above, I have been trying many times, it's just the same..

so do anyone here know how to create a Image of Windows XP with just around 600+mb and fit to burn in to a CD ? I mean using the Symantec Norton Ghost software..
