PC camera driver crash system on boot?

NTDEV
1

My pc camera driver crashed my pc on boot time. It prompt “Windows protection error.” I don’t know how to trace the root(I have no memory dump or other error messages). The driver crash on both Win98 and WinMe, but it works well on NT system. Has anyone seen this before?

Any advice is appreciated.

Yeah, wish my boss know it as well. Sigh… And my driver could not get any data in 9x if USB2.0 controller present in system. I know it’s not a system bug because another type pc camera and its driver could run well. I need a way to find my error. Could you help?

Win 9x does not support USB 2.0. Do you have an OEM USB 2.0 host
controller driver? Does your camera have fallback support for USB 1.x?

Do you mean you get a blue screen, or do you mean you get a dialog? If
it’s a dialog, you’re seeing an application problem. If it is a blue
screen, you can trap it in the debugger.

Thanks Tim.
For USB1.1, the camera works well if I plug-in it after system booting up, but if the device is plug in on boot time, I get a blue screen. It always reproduces, whatever USB2.0 or 1.1.
My USB2.0 controller driver is OrangeWare oem driver for intel chipset, file version 1.1.0.2. Maybe I need an update?

There are too many variables to come to any conclusion. You really need
to hook up the wdeb98 debugger and chase down where the crash is really
happening.
