USB cam not recording

[photonjockey]

Installed a single Hik using single cam license, recording direct to disk to a WD Blue. All was good in the world.

Realized (quickly) that a single cam system is kinda lame.

Upgraded to full version, added an old (Logitech C920) USB cam, set recording the same as the Hik (direct to disk).. All appeared well at first but quickly realized that it is not recording, not even when manual recording is activated. Clips always show 0 sec length and attempting to open them coughs up, "Unable to open file: 80000002" and of course, no files with cam name appear in the \new folder.

Any suggestions other than chuck the old USB cam? (Which will happen, eventually..)

Thanks!
