The camera requires quite a while to clear the image from the camera and allow a reset. During this time, any change to any setting on the program leaves the camera locked up electronically. It will display images which are totally black. You have to completely disconnect the camera from all sources of supply, DC and USB and reboot the computer to release the driver. This should reset everything and allow it to work again. This one had me totally stumped for quite a while and also happened with the Atik camera I had.
Failling this you could have a faulty DC converter or camera fault.
Good luck Rob.

Thanks Doug. We will try the plug idea first. The camera and computer have been turned off a couple of times already with no success. Although I have noticed that on the first attempt an image is usually produced but not afterwards. If it is not the plug I am hoping that it a software issue as there is a lot of software loaded on the computer. Perhaps there is a conflict somewhere.
