iCam Support / Re: Problem: iCamSource v2.1.3 for Windows - iCam won't connect

with just one web cam and motion detection turned off and the preference window closed the CPU is around 25%. It doesnt matter if I use the inbuilt camera or the external logitech camera.

When I started it up this morning it would not connect to the server until I re-entered the password.

I'll double check that one later, but I haven't been using motion detection at this stage.
I started up the laptop this morning and it was stuck connecting... . I clicked on the stop button, re-entered the password and clicked start and it changed to connected.
BUT
by the time I got to work the camera image has frozen and it looks like the icam software has crashed.

Yes the CPU did increase im using a Sony Vaio Core 2 Duo 2GHz process with 4GB ram so that should be ample.
From memory my desktop gadget had the CPU at around 55-60% and the fan was also kicking in.
I did not notice that as I selected each camera I could see the image changing.
The title of the preference window kept saying "connecting", I never saw the "connected to server" until I remove the second camera.
The other laptop I have a similar issue on is HP Centrino 2 3.2 Ghtz processor 4gb RAM and its CPU spikes at 45-50%

I've had a similar problem 2.1.3 for windows just doesn't like multiple cameras. I could hardly get it to connect when I had more than one camera defined. As soon as I deleted the other cameras it connected and started steaming like it used to.  I have another laptop that is running 2.1.3 for windows and when I connect a second camera to it, it also fails.
Hope this helps guys.
