Why do I get only black and white lines?

[chrisc]

I am using an analog CCD camera that works fine on a television, but the display looks like black and white horizontal lines on my screen. Then I get an error message to reduce the resolution. I never had to that before. (I've had this camera working with the IMAQ 1411 for some time). I tried an additional camera. Same result. I'm viewing this through Measurement and Automation. I tried different cables as well.

To whom it may concern:

It appears that you may have something wrong with your driver. I'd suggest that you uninstall your IMAQ driver and reinstall again. You could even upgrade to our most recent version of the driver...3.0. Go to http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/webcategories/85256410006C055586256BBB002C0D10?opendocument&node=132070_US and you can download it for free.

You mentioned that it was working before. Was that with the same PCI-1411?

Make sure you uninstall through Windows' Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.

Best of luck,
