That error code sounds like you are using DirectShow cameras. What cameras are you using?

Can you take a screen shot of the attributes and post it?

If the cameras are all the same, and all work on their own; check/adjust your resolution, frame rate and bandwidth settings.  The addition of the third camera may be pushing your system over the available limit.
