Hi everyone,
When I downloaded colour watcher or what ever it's called from aprone's websight I clicked run on the colour watcher item and it gave me a runtime error. Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening.
Help would be apreciated.
Best regards,
Lauren

Are you trying to run the program from within the zip file?  I would imagine that is the problem, but if not, please let me know and I'll try to help.

extract the files into a folder first, then you can run it and it should work fine.

Hello, I downloaded the color watcher, and am having some issues. It loads fine. When I hit the space bar to read a color, it brings up a box, asking which camera I want to use. I click on hte intigrated one in my computer already, then click apply, then click ok. It says the camera is having problems, and I can't do anything else after that. Does anybody know how I could get this to work?

I had this also, but I think it might have to do something with the camera working with a bunch of hp programs, and the fact that there are many different cameras.

I don't know if anyone else has messed with this in a while, or if anyone's had luck getting the program to work. I'd like to try it out. Here's my problem.

Unzipped it. Ran the colorwatcher.exe. Get a blank dialogue screen. hit space. "Camera not responding, please try again." I ran it as admin with the same results. If I try to do any compadibility troubleshooting, I get runtime error 53, file not found. I'm running Windows 7 on a Dell with "Laptop intigrated camera" and JAWS 14.

I'll mess with it, try out NVDA, see if I can fix it.
