Veo Stingray When I click on the button to load Veo Stingray it takes forever for it to load. Is there anything I can do to speed it up?

this is the most solution:: I had the same problem:

"Click on Start->Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs and uninstall the Veo Stingray software driver. Also, uninstall the Veo Digital Studio.
Unplug the Veo Stingray from the computer.
IMPORTANT! If you are connected to the Internet (such as through a dial-up modem or cable modem/DSL) log off from your Internet Service Provider and disconnect any telephone cords or Ethernet/Network cables from your computer. This will prevent Microsoft Windows Update from attempting to update your Veo Stingray software driver through Microsoft Windows Update.
Place your Veo Stingray CD ROM into your computer.
Click on Start->My Computer. Look for your Veo Stingray CD ROM drive.
Right-click on the Veo Stingray CD ROM icon and then select Open.
Go to the E:\DRIVERS\APPBIN folder and double-click on a file named cleanup. (You can also download the cleanup file from: ftp://home.fiasj.net/xirlink/ibm/ibmcleanup.exe)
In the cleanup program, press the "Scan and Delete" button in order for it to begin.
After the cleanup program has finished, click the "Exit" button and restart the computer.
Reinstall the Veo Stingray from the CD ROM, restart the computer, and plug in the camera after the computer has restarted.

good luck!

I hope this sollution helps:

If it works, you can reconnect your telephone cord or Ethernet/Network cable to your computer. Microsoft Windows Update will not attempt to update the Veo Stingray driver again."

It might also be a java problem, go to Add/Remove Programs, uninstall all versions of Java, and try reinstalling."

This fix will work for all of the VEO Stingray problems because it gives a good driver download site and it tells you step by step how to get your cam to work with VISTA Good Luck and let me know if this fixed your problems.


1.Go to this site and download the driver you need: http://www.softsci.com/veodrivers.htm

2.Download it to your desktop

3. Don't unzip, install, or plug in your cam yet

4.Search for this in your start menu: Program Compatibility Wizard

5. Of the three choices click the one that says look for the program manually

6. Choose the option for XP

7. Choose the 680 x 420 or whatever it is not the 256 colors

8. Choose to run as administrator

9. Click next and it should change your screen to a real big resolution and then it will start to install the driver

10. Go through the install wizard

11. After it has loaded plug in your camera

12. Try a program that it is supposed to work with

13. Finish the Compatibility Wizard

now everything should work for your cam.
This works with all of your programs that vista will not run.

My Veo Stingray works with Vista Ultimate just fine.

How I did mine:

Search for and find on the net (like I did once upon a time) a file named:

"veo_330V_v002"

Install it- Mine wouldnt finish install (95%) because of ".DLL load failer"

Once rebooted- when the system tried to install driver auto. I just browsed to the "c:\program files\veo stingray\drivers folder (created) and it installed and works now.

Hope this helps.
