Hi,
I bought a refurbished mini pc from ebay with Win 11 on it.

I've downloaded all the drivers and other software I use on my other pc.

The PC is "seeing" my ZWO 120MM camera in the Devices tab but when I try to use UFO HD there is no camera in the video capture box.

Out of curiosity I tried it on a Win 7 and Win 10 machines, also refurbished machines (from a while ago) and they both work perfectly (1280 x 960 resolution).

Is there something I'm forgetting or that Win 11 needs?

Thanks,
Bill.

Hi
I'm not sure about ZWO devices, because there have been various troubles with ZWO devices, and I do not test them recently.
There are no reports about the difference on the compatibility between Windows11 and old versions, yet, there may be difference depending on the device driver for Windows11 provided by the manufacture.

In case, a device is selectable but not usable in UFOCaptureHD2,
you may be able to make it work by explicitly selecting the encoding method such as "RGB24" instead of "auto" for "Fourcc" on the Input sheet.

Also, since UFOCaptureHD2 v4.85 supports the NV12 format, compatibility with devices that have not been tested may have changed.
In this case, try testing the following UFOCaptureHD2 with v4.80.

If you have v4.80 and v4.85 in other directory on the same PC, you need to start UFOHD2_REG.exe and run re-install ax every time to match the version of the module registered in the system.

I hope this will solve the problem...
