311 Doesn't work either. Arrgh !

[JavaLawyer]

That's odd. Other users downloaded, installed, and used the latest version without issue. My only thought is that the install package doesn't have the files for every version of Windows and/or hardware configurations, which would explain why some installations fail, while others succeed.

311 Doesn't work either. Arrgh !

What version of Windows are you running?

[Mos20]

Vista Home Premium

The corrupted error was related to the combination of Win 64-bits and a high monitor resolution, but went away with 3.11 (and up). Could be your download zip-file was corrupted.

My advise, re-download, check on viruses and verify the zip-file itself on corruption.

I have had no problem with 3.11 and 3.20 on Vista HomePrem 64-bit... So that can't be it...

Given the circumstances, I agree with Mackerel's assessment.  As a further note, I installed D-ViewCam on Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit). No installation errors, no exceptions.

Hello,

I don't usually write to forums and I'm new to this one. But in this case I just feel compelled to do so !!

I just find EXTREMELY BAD that the D-View Cam Main Console gives me an error message and actually refuses to open if the resolution is not set to 1024 x 768. I NEVER saw (maybe back in the 80's ?) a software that does behave that way....
I am using an external monitor set to 720p (that's 1280x720) and I have to manually put the console onto my main screen (set to 1024 x 768) to be able to open the console, then drag it to the other monitor, where it will actually work !! (so why does it not open in the first place )

Sorry if  I am doing something wrong and please correct me or give me a solution. I just felt I had to write this as I understand this should be improved. It's not correct to have such poor programming, even if it's free (well I paid for the IPCams so ...) 

Best

Alain

@albaum: Which version of D-ViewCam are you using? I have used the Console on various resolutions and have not had any real issues. D-ViewCam has a tendency ('bad habit') of taking the first monitor available as its main screen, but the requirement of it having to be XGA (1024x768) resolution I have never seen.

I am working under a few non-standard resolutions, the highest of which is 1920x1200 (not 1080), and I have not yet encountered this problem... I will try to find a 1280x720 screen to test. Or just resize my own screen... Will keep you posted.

Hi Mackerel,

Thank you for your post. I am interested to hear whether you get the same message when you work on a lower resolution than 1024x768 (in one of the axes since 1280 x 720 cannot be considered lower resolution than 1024x768).

When you say that d-viewcam has the 'tendency' to use the first monitor mainscreen, do you mean there is a way that it actually does not ? I could not find any way to do so.

Let me know if having 1024 x 768 is not a requirement (as I mentioned in my mail before you can start the software on a XGA resolution and then change the monitor resolution, and d-viewcam will then work, giving you first a warning and asking you if you want to restart since you have changed the resolution (¿))

Any help is welcome,
Sorry if I sound a little abrupt, but English isn't my first anguage and I feel a little frustrated.

By the way, does anyone know an alternative to D-viewcam which will work with th d-link cameras ?

Thanks

Alain

I'm currently using iSpy with both of my D-Link cameras because D-ViewCam still gives the License is invalid error.

(Any help with getting ViewCam working on XP x64 would be appreciated.  Tried all the reboot, uninstall iterations and version 3.11, 3.2 etc)

[diogomaul]

Does DCS-950G and DCS-2100 works with V.3?

[rightarmman]

I am having the same "invalid license error" discussed earlier.
Win 7 Ultimate - 64
Whatz up?
Thanks for any assistance...

I have D-viewcam 3.0.  Everything work fine when I'm on site and on the same wifi network.
Problem is when I get home (same laptop) it will not connect to my cameras.

Was working fine before I updated to version 3.0.
Also have a 2nd laptop that work just fine no matter what wifi network I'm on.
