I've searched for demo projects but can't find them. Where are they located?

Thanks, matt

I think that he meant these:
www.chamsys.co.uk -> Download -> in the bottom of that page : MagicQ Visualisation

There is seven demo projects.

Re: Very basic problem!

The demo projects there are for playing with the demo that comes with the full version of capture i think. I have however loaded the projects into MagicQ and put a generic lamp into a window and with live information on, I get control over the number representing the dimmer level (0-F) but with no beam, I have installed the latest driver for the graphics card but as soon as i put the window into live mode the program seems to stop responding. It didn't do this when first loaded but then it also didn't show the beam. Is my system to slow to run capture (If I were to purchase the full version would i also need to budget for a new computer?)

Re: Very basic problem!

I have just run capure with the performace monitor running on vista and with one generic in a window with live informtion on, the simple act of turning up the control uses up to 70% of my processor power, switching to live mode and the processor flatlines at 100%.... I get the impression my computer isn't up to it but for the first few days it didn't do this.....

Hi monkeypuzzle,

I have a feeling your computer is software emulating some OpenGL features and that that's the reason for your problems. You probably need to go into the options and force Capture to not use the "Polar" graphics!
