Re: Windows XP BSOD - how to debug?

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Two thoughts.  One - reinstall the camera, then immediately install it 
again.  Also, look for driver updates on the web.  Second - Is it a USB 
device?  If so, install it in a different USB port, on the other side of 
the machine if possible. 

I know, I know.  Stupid ideas.  Sorry.  Best I can come up with.   :)
