OH DEAR

[Maurice Murphy]

Hi Alfred,

Neat idea, but...

I removed both TV adapters and my TVTime software. I then tried 
EasyCam2, but it still crashed with the 'Make Install' error that I had 
previously.

There has to be some way to make this thing go, when everyone else seems 
to have few problems with the installation of this little black-eyed 
monster!

Thanks anyway, Maurice
