    <p>I just successfully installed SimpleCV on my Windows 7 Dell XPS. I have a HP Deluxe Webcam KQ246AA plugged into it. I have navigated to the SimpleCV Shell. I am trying to run the tutorial to take and show a picture from the webcam. From the SimpleCV shell I execute the following lines:</p> <pre><code>cam = Camera() img = cam.getImage() img.show() </code></pre> <p>After the first command, the light on my webcam turns on. After the second command nothing happens. After the third command I get some text output: <code>&lt;SimpleCV.Display.Display instance at 0x038D2A58&gt;</code> and a window pops up that is all black, and then that new window does the classic windows "Not Responding" and asks me if I want to force close. When I close the Shell, the light on the webcam turns off.</p> <p>I have also tried:</p> <pre><code>img.save('C:/path/to/file/name.jpg'); </code></pre> <p>Which saved the picture to the right location, but the picture was just all black. I guess that the picture is not being captured correctly, but I don't know why that causes the <code>img.show()</code> command to crash.</p> <p>I tried referencing the SimpleCV docs (http://doc.simplecv.org/), but the link appears to be non-existent. I think I would really benefit from SimpleCV. Does anyone have any suggestions how I would debug this problem? Or, where is the documentation? I would at least to verify that I can capture pictures correctly from the webcam. Then get started with some of the other functionality.</p> <p>** EDIT **</p> <p>I installed the SimpleCV package from the .deb downloaded from their website onto my Thinkpad X61s running Ubuntu 10.10. 5 minutes for installationn. I plugged in a very generic webcam (not even sure what brand it is) and repeated the 3 lines of code above. I DID see the picture take from my webcam come up. So everything worked on the linux, and was very simple. </p>
