Hi!

I am currently working on a setup that uses two webcams. The code is working, but i bought two identical webcams for the final setup and am now facing this problem:

[0] "ArcSoft Webcam Sharing Manager-WDM"
[1] "Google Camera Adapter 0-WDM"
[2] "Google Camera Adapter 1-WDM"
[3] "HP HD Webcam [Fixed]-WDM"
[4] "Trust Webcam-WDM"
[5] "Trust Webcam-WDM"

I am very positive that it is because the two cams are named exactly the same as it works with any other pair of cams (as long as they have different names). apparently windows 7 does not allow to change the name of portable devices (windows xp did afaik), i only get this menu if i try to change the properties:




Does anybody know a way to fix this problem? Would be great !! :)

Regards,

Marcel
