Plz help- "Video device already in use"

[flame2262]

Hi people!

I have a problem with capturing video. I'm using the Video-In feature of my Asus V8200 Deluxe (GeForce3, 64MB).
I'm using the latest Display/WDM nVidia Drivers.

When trying to capture video in programs like VirtualDub, freeVCR, I get this error:
"Video device already in use. You cannot use this device when another video application...."
Then a "Video Source" window opens, and I need to select a video source. The only thing I can choose is
"ASUS WDM Video Captrue (universal)". both VirtualDub and freeVCR result the exact same error (same text, same error window), so I can assume that my problem is not an application-specific problem.
An exception to my problem is "Asus Digital VCR", since in that application, I got no error. My guess is that the "Asus Digital VCR" is not using the "ASUS WDM Video Captrue (universal)" driver.
I should mention that no TV-related applications are running in the background... I even tried to capture right after a reboot, and I got the same error...

The problem started when I accidently tried to delete the VirtualDub directory while the program was running (I wanted to replace it with a new version). I got an error saying that some files couldn't be deleted, so I closed the application, deleted the directory, and replaced it with a new version of VirtualDub (1.4.10). Since then, I get the error...

I tried uninstalling and reinstallting the WDM & the Display drivers... It didn't work...

Pleaseee help me
Thank you,
Eyal
