OT: plug and pray webcam on windows xp

Attic dweller John Dope:

Not either. Isn't obvious, but you'll grasp at whatever you can... to lose that ATTIC.

I didn't say "I think the idiot lives in lowlight", did I?

I just brought your attention back to "rough-framed attics" and you had to snip that! You go directly back low light again!

Returning to the topic, I never said that a bad dll must be one that came from Microsoft, either. But it's a bad idea to auto-assume that Microsoft's is the one you want to keep.

"therefore unskilled Windows users should replace Windows DLLs without good cause." (paraphrased)" was never part of my argument, you lied! We'll never see an honest followup from you here, you aren't up to it.

I hate that my modern machine has multiple 'versions' of dot net or whatever MS calls it on my machine because different age apps require different versions. But whatever works as long as it isn't taking up Gigs of drive space.

Boot up a Linux Ubuntu Studio thumb drive and see if it sees it. If so, you could get an external USB hard drive and put Ubuntu on it and run that and use that for the camera and those times when you are there you boot up as normal and use the OS on the machine as it is. That way you modify nothing on your existing set up.

And they'll find that your loose "quote",

"Programmers replace Windows' DLLs without good cause, therefore unskilled Windows users should replace Windows DLLs without good cause." (paraphrased)

was not paraphrased, it was fabricated.

You're too stupid to find solutions.

Your phrase doesn't fit anything that's been discussed. Idiot.

"DLL files are created and distributed by companies that develop software. Sometimes that software company is Microsoft, sometimes it's not. Many companies create DLL files as part of their software packages."

Confirms exactly what I wrote.

You really think that the problem arrived AFTER he's spent time trying fix it?

Lying attic dweller John Dope:

Your source backs up what I said about companies providing same but different dlls. Thanks.

You draw from a very small pool of stock comments.

Fabricated.

Used correctly they are handy. We have several optional modules. Rather than burdening the executable with statically linked code if the module is enabled load the dll at runtime. They can also serve as a shim between a C application that needs to interact with a C++/COM library, or other uses.

I do worry when I attempt to install an application and have to go out and get Framework 3.5. It's now a standalone product but at least it will be supported until 2028 unlie 4, 4.5, and 4.5.1. Sort of like XP and 7 it just won't go away.

Whoosh! I barely got any of that.

Win98se was my final Windows, and I'd still be dual-booting to it if my old board didn't succumb to bad caps. Began looking at Linux with, uh... Mint8, I think. Helena. Never had to become proficient with command line, so I didn't. The file system baffles me. I have no idea what's under the hood the way I did with Win98.

Everybody ought to be using Manjaro, with KDE Plasma. Windows, and MacOS, are comparative crap.

I like Knoppix and Ubuntu Studio but never install them on my local drive. I alway use an add on drive and that way I can retain my current system... like it never happened.

And my current system has a Linux VM in it.

John Dope:

"Changing Windows' system files is a bad idea. Hopefully you restored the prior DLL after the "much longer version" failed. Otherwise, that sort of manipulation could be the problem."

That's you, before I even entered the thread, advising the OP that replacing a dll with a different version could be the problem!

If you get Paul's attention in alt.comp.os.windows-10, you'll get good information. He's on another level.

Sadly, you'll see that John Dope is there.

John Dope:

That's the same link that the OP posted at the start.

"There are no items that meet the following criteria", every time. But there's no criteria shown. uBlock Origin might be ruining it, huh?

Linux is supported, I see. This is looking like a very easy decision.

uBlock Origin might be ruining it. Does the readme say to upgrade the firmware after you have reinstalled Windows XP and all the updates, Service Pack 3 or whatever?

You forgot to snip your crummy suggestion to reinstall Windows XP.
