VS Pro X4 error:"unable to switch to Capture Mode"

Post by charlesh »

VS starts in Edit Mode. After connecting the video camera by a iLink cable to PC and switching the camera to Play mode, clicking on tab "Capture" an error message appears: "Unable to switch to Capture Mode. Check if your video capture driver is working properly"
Question: How do I do it? I am not a computer savvy person, just want to capture, edit and finally burn my videos taken with the camera.
Please advise, thank you.

Yes, thank you BrianCee. Downloading the recommended DirectX upgrade solved the problem.
