When you use a portable Windows Vista-based computer, you may receive a Stop error message that resembles one of the following:

STOP: 0×000000E4 (0×00000002, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4)
STOP: 0×0000000A (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4)

Notes:

• The parameters in the Stop error message vary, depending on the configuration of the computer and on the issue type.
• Not all “0×000000E4″ or “0×0000000A” Stop errors are caused by this problem.

This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:

• A USB camera device is integrated into the computer, or the device is connected to the computer through a USB cable.
• You resume the computer from long-term suspend mode. For example, the computer has been suspended for 30 minutes or more.
• The value of the computer’s ForceHCResetOnResume registry entry is 0.

Consider the following scenario:

• You connect a webcam to a computer that is running Windows Vista.
• In the webcam’s Properties dialog box, you change settings on the Camera Control tab or on the Video Proc Amp tab.
• In the webcam’s Properties dialog box, you click Cancel. Or, you close this dialog box without saving or applying the changes.

In this scenario, the settings that you have changed are saved.

Note: This problem also occurs on computers that are running Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP.

On a Windows Vista-based computer, you try to set the tilt value and the pan value for a USB Video Class (UVC)-compatible camera. The tilt value is set correctly. However, the pan value is out of range. Therefore, the UVC-compatible camera cannot scan horizontally across the range of motion.

When you start a Windows Vista-based computer that has a USB camera connected, the computer may stop responding. This problem may also occur when you perform an unattended installation of Windows Vista on a computer that has a USB camera connected. This problem occurs if the camera uses the Stream.sys driver.

Consider the following scenario:

• You have a video camera that is connected to a Windows Vista-based computer through a USB connection.
  Note: This kind of camera may also be known as a “webcam.”
• You use the video camera together with a video-capture program to capture input from the camera.
• The computer is configured to use a power plan that puts the computer to sleep after a specified period of inactivity.
• You use the camera-preview feature to view input from the camera, and then Windows Vista enters a sleep state.

In this scenario, you may experience one of the following symptoms when you resume the computer from sleep:

• The camera-preview feature displays a blue screen that contains no video from the camera.
• The camera-preview feature displays a black screen.
