And for more bad news... We just replaced the camera a few weeks ago, and now the old workstation unit running the webcam has crashed. Reports it can't find Windows.

Does anybody have access to an old Windows computer that we might put into service? ...For example, an old desktop unit that still works but you no longer need?


Sounds funky, like a file system error for windows. Depending on how old the box is a new HD and a clean windows install may sort it.

Regardless, I've got a spare box I can donate to the cause. I will put a clean install of 32 bit windows 7 and as much ram as I can scrape up. I think I have a spare TB hd sitting around too. One of the benefits of being the IT guy at work. I'll be heading up to Coyote Flat to putz around on the 11th and could drop off on my way up if you cant find something sooner.
