Solution to no video update on wmcap.exe

[Brendan Bergin]

Steve,
I pulled the software as you suggested and installed ultravnc and the video 
driver on my server, a IBM T30 laptop.  Rebooted.  Installed ultravnc on 
the client and it all works.  The client, an old 450 MHz Compaq, is running 
50% real time to keep up, but the video quality and motion are 
outstanding.  I am using ADC's USB 2.0 Camera which (they say) provides 
about 400 MHz video stream.

I have also tried using my T30 as the server and a more modern PC in a 
network connection across the country and my T30 ran about 50% load while 
the client ran about 30%, again excellent video sharpness and motion.  The 
load on the server increases with the size of the video window while the 
load on the client stays fairly steady.

Thanks again for the solution,
Brent
