VS X4: Widescreen option not available in stop-motion

[Duckious]

Hi,

I've recently changed from PC to Laptop and reinstalled Videostudio x4.

On my last PC (which was considerably older and less capable) while using the stop-motion editor, I could capture in upto 1280 x 720 resolution using my Microsoft Lifecam 5000 HD - however now with the same camera after the reinstall the highest resolution on the drop-down menu is 640 x 480 which obviously isnt widescreen or anywhere near in terms of resolution. Any idea what may have caused this?

One thing which could be related is that on this laptop I have two lots of "program files" - "Progam Files" and "Program Files (x86)". The program itself is installed on the x86 section but when VS is searching for sample videos or overlays etc they've all needed relinking as its attempting to find them in the normal "Program Files" folder - could the resolution problem be a similar relinking issue?

All help is greatly appreciated and apologies if I've missed out any vital technical information!

It stated on Microsoft's web site "Software download required for full functionality of all features." so have you installed the driver and updated the firmware of the camera?
