NX Pro fails, is there a driver cleaner?

I have an NX Pro which used to work just fine. About 3 weeks ago, it just stopped working and I haven't been able to get it back since. Symptoms:
Google Hello - No longer shows up as a device in my WebCam/DV capture window
Windows Control Panel/Scanners and Cameras - It says it is ready and that my "imaging device completed the diagnostic test", but nothing else.
Windows Accessories/Scanner and Camera Wizard - "The computer cannot detect the scanner or camera"
Photoshop CS2 - I get a dialog window that says "Sti Error! Video Initialize Error!"
Microsoft Office Document Imaging - "Sti Error! Video Initialize Error!"
Those last two seem to be the culprit. Anyone seen this before? It looks like the camera preview window flickers in and out quickly after I close that window.
I've tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling, from both the Add/Remove programs as well as the Device Manager, but it has not come back. I've also gone through and deleted all of the Creative entries in the registry, as well as any references to "p30", rebooted, and reinstalled, but also to no avail. Could my Video for Windows (VfW) subsystem be horked? How could I fix it if it was?

Through a combination of Photoshop CS2 and Sysinternals Process Explorer, I've been able to scrounge together a list of processes that run when the error is shown. Maybe someone (a developer) can see where the problem is?
P30Sti.dll - Still Image Driver - v .00.000.0000 - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 - 3/20/2003 3:00 PM
P30Twn.ds - TWAIN Data Source - v .00.000.0000 - C:\WINDOWS\TWAIN_32\Creative\PD30 - 5//2003 9:00 PM
twain_32.dll - Twain_32 Source Manager (Image Acquisition Interface) - v .07.000.000 - C:\WINDOWS - 8/4/2004 3:56 AM
wiadss.dll - WIA TWAIN compatibility layer - v 5.0.2600.280 - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 - 8/4/2004 3:56 AM
When I run SplitCam, I get:
quartz.dll - v 6.05.2600.2749 - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 - 8/29/2005 :54 PM
When I run the PC-CAM Center (v 2.02.0), I get "The device is not available, it may be used by another resource", and the following DLLs continually load and unload:
sti.dll, ksproxy.ax, ksuser.dll, kswdmcap.ax (all from DirectX 9.0c and XPSP2)
P30Hwx.dll - HWX Driver - v .00.0003.0000 - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 - 5/7/2003 9:00 PM

  • Macbook Pro fails on startup after drive format and OSX reinstall

    Hi all,
         I have a 2012 15'' Retina Macbook Pro - pretty new, so it surprises me I'm having this issue.
         The problem was pretty sudden - one day upon startup, I would be immediately told that Finder has closed unexpectedly. From this point on, little functionality remained. Sometimes I could launch a program, rarely would it respond to any input. Launchpad was molasses - I watched my individual apps drawn on the screen one at a time each time it launched. Pressing restart on my keyboard brought up the restart menu but making a selection closed the menu without restart. The only way to shut it off is to hold the power button and do a hard restart.
         I've now formatted the entire partition from my recovery partition on startup and done a fresh install of OSX (Mountain Lion I believe). Even without restoring my data from a backup I encounter the same issues.
         This screams hardware to me, but for the baffling fact that my Windows partition is running just fine - I'm using it right now. I'm not sure where to turn - if it is hardware, is there a way to contact Apple without paying them money? Certainly a defect of this nature warrants replacement from Apple if there's no other solution, correct? I appreciate any advice and expertise.
    All the best,
    Hertafeld

    Actually just to note - one of the people I did manage to find on a forum having the same issue was running OS X as a virtual machine, which would suggest that it’s a software fault - is it possible my Install DVD could have become corrupted somehow or an update in the past year has made some incompatibility between it and my computer’s hardware? If so is there a way of downloading a Snow Leopard ISO image from Apple to try burning and installing from that?
    I found this topic: https://discussions.apple.com/message/12459943#12459943 where someone manages to get around the issue by using a different install disc, though I obviously only have the one that came with my Macbook…… halp!

  • My macbook pro is slowing down!what is the best way to speed it up?what is the best drive cleaner application i can use?

    my macbook pro is slowing down!i was looking for drive cleaning applications bau i couldn't decide which one is more useful!

    There are NO applications that will make your MBP run faster.  At best they will have no effect, at worst they will create more problems.
    Start with this comprehensive trouble shooting document.

    Pay particular attention to the Hard Drive and third party applications.

  • Is there a driver to let a ps2 keyboard plugged in with a usb connector work on my macbook pro 13inch

    is there a driver to let a ps2 keyboard plugged in with a usb connector work on my macbook pro 13inch?
    I know there are more threads about this subject but none was really an answer.
    I got a keyboard (brand medion) with a ps2 connector. i wanted it to connect to my macbook so i bought an ps2 to usb connecter.
    wile connected with my macbook the keyboard leds flash one time like they do when you put it in a ps2. but after this just doesn' t work
    I think i might miss a driver or its just turned of somwhere in the system. an previous answer was said something about a safe reboot and a lot of codes but thats to hard for me.
    so any good solutions????

    I've never found a PS2 to USB adapter that worked, or IIRC I've never found one at all. I have USB TO PS2 but not the other way. Just go out and buy a new keyboard. PS2 is so late 90s/early 2000s

    I recently moved and had to disconnect my WD My Pro Edition II 2TB external drive I had been using for backup. 
    Its been several months (many upgrades to the iMac software during this time), and now when I try to reconnect the external dire (Use a firewire cable) it does not recognize the drive is there.  I also tried "reloading" software from the Western Digital site, but after following all the instructions, it looks like my iMac doesn't support this software (I can't even locate it after I follow all the instructions.
    Thnaks,  for anyones ideas on how I can get this working again.....

    First of all, you do not really want to use their software; if you want a bootable clone, use either Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. If you simply want to drag and drop some files, you don't need software to do that. The important thing on any external drive is that you format/partition it correctly (Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and using GUID partition scheme). 
    Unfortunately, I don't know anything about WD drives or their software, so I don't have any idea what kind of backup you did. Having said that, it should still recognize the external even if it's outdated. Have you tried mounting it manually in Disk Utility? If you can get it to mount, you could (worst case scenario) just drag your stuff off onto your internal and then reformat the external.

    The device may be formatted for Windows, as NTFS. The format is readable, but not natively writable on a Mac. To write to the device, you must either reformat it (erasing all the contents) or install third-party software to enable write access to NTFS.

    Trying to copy ANY file from my MacBook Pro to an external hard drive spins for 45 minutes then fails. I hate this computer and WISH I never would have wasted my money. Any ideas? WD My Passport 2TB Drive, had to buy a program to make the POS read files. Copies that would take seconds from a Windows based machine never complete. I have to close the transfer or shut off the machine half the time. Worst computer I have EVER owned, crashes non-stop, constantly freezes, and seems like EVERY operation is more complicated with this thing. Literally, my 1997 Compaq was FAR MORE reliable and user friendly.

    This is one of the messages I keep getting; The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in -- File Whatever -- can’t be read or written.(Error code -36)
    I have copied things to the hard drive in the past, but it has always been incredibly slow, and now just seems to freeze and fail

    The hard drive on my Mac Book Pro failed last week.  I just put a new Samsung SSD in this thing and had to load the Snow Leopard OS that came with the computer.  I had Mt. Lion on the old drive that I had purchased last year but no boot disc made.  I have made several attempts to get the Mt lion soft ware on the computer but the Apple store does not have it only mavericks but my Snow Leopard version is too old for it so I cant get it either.  How do I get something to run the software that I had on the old drive?

    Unfortunately I lost my life and am trying to rebuild.  Isn't the technical era great.
    Backup, backup, backup
    As a minimum, use 3-2-1 (or even more)
    3 copies of your data (original copy counts as 1)
    2 different backup utilities/storage formats (protects from bugs in the software)
    1 copy off-site (protects against theft, fire, and natural disaster)
    More backup copies are even better.
    Backup disks are cheap compared to the lost of personal data that does not exist anywhere else.

  • My MacBook pro won't recognize hard drive I put in it. It boots only to a white screen unless I boot to my recovery USB. If I do that then I can select my USB and my external time machine drive in the disk utility, so no problems there. But what do you

    My MacBook pro won't recognize hard drive I put in it. It boots only to a white screen unless I boot to my recovery USB. If I do that then I can select my USB and my external time machine drive in the disk utility, so no problems there. But what do you think it is? It won't recognize any hard drive I put in the machine, so might it be the sata cable?

    Boot the Recvoery USB, use Disk Utility to select the internal drive makers namea and size on the left.
    Now select erase and select the midde option and click erase, it will take a bit to complete but it's best for the drive.
    Now select Partiton tab, click the big box and Options: GUID and then Format: OS X Extended journaled and click apply.
    Quit and you should be able to install OS X now with your Apple ID and password.

  • I've ordered a new mac book pro 15" and i need to clean hard drive off my old PC...not really to move them to the mac, but just to save in case needed; mostly pics and office docs....any suggestions?

    Buy an external USB hard drive and copy your data to it.  Either that or burn them all to single or double layer DVDs (depending on amount of data you have).  Or if it's really a small amount, consider putting it all on a USB memory stick.

    Dell only provide some rather old Windows drivers for this model, no Mac drivers at all.
    Plug it in, you may get lucky but frankly I doubt it.

    Only with a whole lot of effort and instability.  As the new Minis have
    hardware (HD4000, USB 3.0, etc.) that is totally unsupported in old OSes.
    The only option would be to see if it would work by installing in a virtual machine
    running 10.6.8.  I'm sure there will be some performance hit but whether it would
    be enough to be unusable is the question.

    According to Panasonic's site the camera is iMovie compatible. So, you need to use iMovie...
