That was an old bug that Microsoft patched in XP in 2002 as I recall Windows Activation had a bug that would cause it to crash if it was left running for too long. Not surprising at all what you were seeing. By the time Microsoft End Of Life'd Windows XP it was finally getting stable enough to depend on and the hardware power had gotten to where it would run well. XP on a Core 2 is lightning fast, faster even than Windows 10 on an SSD is today. >I have one PTZ camera, I am able to control it from ZM, but it does not look >up above the horizon, indeed it is aimed >somewhat below the horizon, when it >is not zoomed it you get about 8 degrees above horizon visible, but as you >>zoom in you see that it is actually zooming in on a point below the horizon. >I found another cam that can look about 10 degrees above, I would like to have >one that can at least go vertical, >sometimes you may want to see what is >going on directly overhead or at a higher angle. >I know that they are out there, most of what I have seen are pretty expensive.
