icame source 2.4 crashes ever time I start camera. Windows 7. Uninstalled and re installed 2.4..same. 2.3 was fine.

2.4 crashes every time I start it. I tried 2.4 on (2) Windows 7 64-bit machines with the same crashing results. Both PC's worked fine with 2.3.1 beta though.

How many cameras are you running and are they USB, Built-In, or network cameras?  Also, did the error message show any details about the cause of the crash?

Your iCamSource registry settings may have gotten into a bad state.

I would try this:

1. Uninstall version 2.4
2. Delete the C:\Program Files\iCamSource folder.
3. Download and run the following file to clear your iCamSource registry settings: http://skjm.com/icam/CleaniCamKey.reg
4. Re-install iCamSource 2.4

You will need to re-enter your cam info, but hopefully that will stop the crashing.

If not, you can repeat the steps above but instead of re-installing 2.4 you can download and install the previous BETA version, 2.3.1: http://skjm.com/icam/iCamSetup2.3.1.exe

I tried going through those steps, but it still crashes immediately when clicking "start". I guess I'll have to go back to 2.3.1 beta which was very stable for me. BTW, I'm only using one USB camera on this setup and it worked fine with 2.3.1 beta. 

Can I still upgrade to iCam 2.1 even though I'm using iCamSource 2.3.1 beta?

Yes, iCam 2.1 will work with iCamSource 2.3.1 BETA.

We will try and replicate the crashing issue and hopefully come up with a solution.
