How To How to: Capture Screen Shots (with SDK)

I have 64 also, did your computer auto install the drivers? or did you have to do it for it? Mine auto installs and tells me they are "up to date" and wont let me over ride them.
 
Also it shows up in my device manager as a disk drive named Motorola A855 USB Device. Is this the same for you?

Yep, it shows the same here. Also shows as A855 under portable devices. Make sure you have "usb debugging" enabled on the phone (menu>settings>applications>development) then try and install the driver.
 
Well, since it works in W7 x64 it *theoretically* should work in Vista x64 as well - but I had to try three different times before I found instructions that worked correctly....

yep I have that on but under portable devices it shows as G:\. hum......:confused:

Does anyone know how to delete it from windows so I can try and start it all over?
 
If you mean delete the driver, you simply go into device manager and find the device, right click, and select Uninstall. If you get a popup dialog asking if you want to remove the files too, I'd check yes on that as well.
 
I don't get that as an option. I don't know what else to do. I have tried everything. If I uninstall the device windows just reinstalls it with the same drivers. I plugged it in to my friends laptop (also vista) and it prompts for me to install the drivers for it. I GIVE UP! Thanks for the help!
 
Device manager, it labels it as G:\ I right click on it uninstall it then plug it back in and the computer auto reinstalls the drivers it has that it thinks is right.
 
I have the same problem on mine.
I can click uninstall and remove drivers for the phone, but do not have the option of removing drivers for the "disk drive" entry in Device Manager.
I got the single entry for "Android phone" to switch drivers, but the "disk drive" entry reverts to the same old driver no matter what.
 
Most likely that DiskDrive entry is a default M$ driver for disk drives - hence your inability to 'uninstall' it.

The only one you really need to worry about is the Motorola USB driver anyway - the disk drive is a default driver built into the OS - you really don't want to uninstall that one (as it would pretty much render all your drives inoperable to the OS)....
 
Hi,
I am trying to take screen shots from the device, i followed the steps to do so.

But i could not find Settings>Application>Dubbing in my device.

What is the solution?

My Device is Archos 5 Internet Tablet.


Thanks,
Lakshman

One last thing to try maybe: From the Device Manager you should have an option to add new hardware or add legacy hardware. Click through the wizard and when prompted select "have disk." You should then be able to browse to where you saved the driver file (it should be a .INF file).

Hope this helps, and let us know how it turns out.
 
Ok so here is where I am at now. I formatted my computer and reinstalled windows witch fixed the driver problem. So now It is labeled as A855 (yeah) but the SDK is still not working. I open Eclipse but my phone is not listed on the left and I do have debugging turned on. I swear if its not one thing its another!
