So I have been sitting here for 2 hours trying to figure out this thing and its just not working. I hooked it up to the tv and it works beautiful so I know its not the camera. I uninstalled every software that came with the Capture Cable and re-installed everything and still nothing but black and white lines when I try to sign on. I even did it all on another laptop that I have that is Windows XP and nothing there too. Do you think maybe it could be a bad S-Cable? I dont know what to do. This is soooo frustrating.
PURG my laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A135 Windows Vista 32 bit operating system
Thanks!

okay if you hooked it up to the tv with the s-video cable and it worked .. means camera and cable are good

..
now did you make sure in the software that u set it to NTSC tv or USA standard ?
if you did it sounds like the capture stick does not work or is not used correctly as a capture device that the performer application can use.. some overlay problems or the drivers are special to work only with their software for recording .
So smile be happy you know you have a working camera now and thats not the problem, that would be the expensive fix.
Now the dazzle you want that will be good enough for what you need is the dazzle recorder

thats the link to the one that will be good for your needs. and its about $50..
Return that capture stick and get a refund and don't waste more time on it if you did all the checks and made sure you are on the right NTSC standard in the drivers software and if it fails on the performer app then it is probably how the capture device works in a non standard way to how windows wants to use a capture device in any program. Some capture devices will only work on their own software and won't even be detected by other programs.
