Thanks for the help. I did what you said and it was a problem with the software. I had to reinstall it and I got the Control Panel to work and the Media Express to open and record.
Unfortunately, when I record, it drops frames half the time. I not exactly sure why. Then I concluded it must be my computer. I think it is too slow because it has 1Gb of RAM. Tomorrow, I will be going to get (2) 2Gb of RAM from Office Depot. Hopefully this will help. I am not sure.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
