    I am not able to bring up the installed VideoView program on my box. It starts and shows a screen with the camera working but I am getting "cannot write to the registry" errors, and it bails out. Probably and old xp program that assumed it had full rein in the registry.

    I tried running as admin, xp compatibility mode but it still fails. Does anyone else have this problem? Or, does anyone else have any recommendations for a decent camera viewer program?
