UVS 8 Cannot capture any more

Hello,

I have UVS 8. After a few problems in the beginning, the program finally worked. I did not use it for a few months. Now I cannot capture anymore. UVS recognizes my camera (Sony TRV900E). I changed the capture module and choosed others, like Ulead Direct Show (sorry I do not know the exact terms in english : my program is in french). Moreover, I cannot use anymore the project VSP I had already saved. I can open it, I hear the soundtrack but receive no image. On the contrary, when I view the clips included in UVS (those under Video, on the right side of the screen), it works.

I receive such messages (I translate from french) :

Impossible to switch to capture mode. Check if your video capture pilot works properly. Impossible to previsualize.
(15200 : 33 : 6)
(15023 : 4 : 2)

Launching of video capture module failed. Another program uses it or the file has been removed.
Opening of the pilot failed.
(15200 : 43 : 3)
(15023 : 4 : 2)

I have no solution after weeks of searching... Can anybody help me ?
I have screen prints of the messages but cannot post them of this forum.
Sorry for my broken english.

Jean-Luc

Do not open VS8. Plug the cam into the firewire port and turn it on. Go to My computer ans see id it's listed. Also go to start>control panel>system>device manager> and see if there is a ? mark next to any of the devices.

Also try capturing with MS Movie Maker, to see if it's a system problem or a problem with VS8.
