Kim,
1. Verify that the camera is working with other applications that you know work with the camera. This ensures that all settings are in working order (i.e. intensity is not set all the way down to black).
2. Click on the option button->Video tab and select the appropriate camera from the dropdown. Once selected press ok. Do you get any errors during this process?
3. Ensure that you have the most recent DirectX drivers (its a really big download from Microsoft so you'll have to be patient).

I have tried it in another program (msn and VLC) and it works, but roborealm can't show the image, eventhough the camera seems to be active (LED shows it is active).

Very strange! Can you verify that it is this camera?

I assume you do not get any errors when switching to that camera using the Options Button->Video Tab->Camera dropdown?
Can you also check the Format button in that same GUI and see what format is being used? RGB24 or RGB555 would be ideal.
The lighting levels may also be off ... check the Source button and see if the settings for the lighting,etc. are all reasonable.

Can you try selecting the yuy2 format and see if that helps?
We don't support the mjpg format directly and use a win routine to do so. Most likely that is not working correctly. But we do support the yuy2 format directly.
Thanks,
STeven.

Ok,
1. Did you verify your RoboRealm version?
2. Does the application behave any differently than before?
3. Be sure to unselect the Run button just in case a module is running that is turning the image black.
4. Also quickly verify that the camera is still working with AmCap.

The xbox camera would not work properly until I installed a peripherals driver update. After plugging in the camera and letting Windows install the necessary drivers, open the "Windows Update" program and install the update listed there.

if you still have black image, make sure you try all camera settings.
my microsoft hd 5000 exposure was set to 0 ,and its image was
black to, until i chanced this.
(it was camera propertie module default settings that had done this)
and the setting applied in rr option menu to.
