UVCView shows configuration info from a USB device, when the USB device is plugged in. If you're not seeing anything, there could be a bad USB cable, or a problem at the camera end (wrong mode, battery problem or whatever). UVCView was originally offered on the Microsoft site, but was removed by them. I've provided links to web.archive.org to get a copy, but the archive likes to remove the last byte of some of the files it archives. If you try to run the archived version, in WinXP, it won't execute. Thus, the following two links, are alternate locations for a copy of the utility. ******* ftp://ftp.efo.ru/pub/ftdichip/Utilities/UVCView.x86.exe http://www.users.on.net/~fzabkar/USB_IDs/UVCView.x86.exe File size is 167,232 bytes. MD5sum is 93244d84d79314898e62d21cecc4ca5e This is a picture of what the UVCView info looks like. http://www.die.de/blog/content/binary/usbview.png Some information on the parameters seen in UVCView. http://www.beyondlogic.org/usbnutshell/usb5.htm ******* This should be a USB issue of some sort, and not be dependent on SMBus and its state. UVCView won't fix it, but may tell you whether the connection from the camera to the computer is working.

Guest jim Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Re: Cant Transfer Pictures- ie Camera to pc Thanks Heaps for advice Richard, & Paul for your Advice & Links.Have something to Chew over now.I might add that when one endeavours to do the Ts/fer(from Camera to Pc via USB)the mouse pointer freezes.have to restart pc. I do'nt know if the latter is of any consequence.

Does the light go out when the cursor stops moving ? Perhaps power has been removed from the mouse for some reason (thus my suggestion to look at the camera cable). The enumeration sequence for USB is described in some detail here. The UVCView tool is showing the results of that setting up of endpoints, and reading of device configuration information. Thus, if you get a full window of stuff from the newly plugged device, then chances are the physical layer is OK. http://www.lvr.com/usbcenum.htm Paul
