Belkin video capture deviceMS MovieMaker--Blue Screen

I'm using the Belkin F5U208 device to capture VHS data.  When I try the CAPTURE from VIDEO Device command I get a blue screen with a 0X0000008E error message. I have 2 GB of RAM.

I can edit exiting movies and perform all the other functionss

Any ideas as to what's wrong?

Thanks

Which windows do you run?
Blue screen are either incompatible devices or wrong drivers.
Incorrect function.

Are you trying edit the movie during capture  since you can edit in refs to>I can edit exiting movies and perform all the other functionss
You can't do anything with a capture in progress it must be stopped and saved before accessing it to edit
Are you running a CMD prompt to start a capture from USB?

Thanks for your response.

Sorry, I thought I mentioned I'm running XP.

I'm just trying the capture option. As soon as I select "capture" it goes blue. I'm using the  standard program prompts

What I don't understand (among a lot of things) is that I was actually able to run the program and do a capture once.   But after leaving MovieMaker and opening it again (no change is physical connections or any thing else), I get the error.

I just looked at the Belkin link you offered.  XP isn't mention as an OS.  That couldn't be an issue, could it?

Thanks again

Still working on Merete's suggetions
Thanks Merete

I tried as much of your process as possible.  My unit may have become defective.  I've given up and gotten a new "grabber" (Startech/Grabbee) and I'm now able to capture what I need.

Thanks for you interest and your help.
Good!!
Since this Startech/Grabbee worked straight up does seem to confirm the other one maybe faulty.
Thankyou for trying my suggestions unfortunately the results were not quite the desired outcome..
All the Best
