phred 0 Posted March 14, 2007 If it is a clone version bought on e-bay then yes 100% CPU usage and crashes are the norm. Try uninstalling the driver and software and install a generic bt878 driver (google it). Then try one of the many webcam recording apps and keep the frame rate down. It may still crash though as it is now only really of interest to archaeologists Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
