can't make simpletest run

[bajie]

Hello,
i am a newbie to ARToolKit. I am trying to use ARToolKit on WinXp.
The compiling is not a problem to me. I am using VC6 and directx 9.0b SDK summer release. The ARToolKit 2.65 is from Thomas Pintaric's website.
Also, i am useing a Logitech quickcam 4000 pro.

But when i try to run the simpletest, i got this error:
"No combination of intermediate filter to make the connection".

Can somebody help me figure out what might go wrong with my
configuration?

BTW, the first directx sdk i installed is directx 9.0c. But it didn't work
as well. There was no signle frame grabbed when i was trying to run
the simpletest program. Then i changed the sdk to 9.0b, this time i got this
connection problem instead.

Thanks. Any input is appreciated.

This kind of error occurs when you haven't correctly specified the camera in the vconf configuration string. At present, this can only be done at compile-time, not run time. Do a search for "vconf" in your text editor in simpleTest.c and read the notes there.

Help on the configuration parameters you can use (on Windows) in vconf = "" can be found at http://www.ims.tuwien.ac.at/~thomas/dsvideolib_doc.php
