which "reset" button? i know of none in pd. is there one on the camera. do you mean the "reset" message to the [gemwin] (which should have NO effect)

hi, ol' console says "error: pix_videoDS: Could not connect the filters in the graph, hr 0x80040217". Perhaps that was there even when it worked and i really dont know, but its making me think its the camera thats doing that. the laptop's built in camera does not produce this error.
the error you get indicates that something is wrong with re-opening the device. does a reboot help ? (it's windows, as i am sure you have told us...)

hi, with the subject being somewhere within the gem pix_video arena;
After successfully using it hooked up to pix_texture, then [rectangle 4 3] i think (my memory doesnt remember everything), i switched rectangle to square then back. it worked fine. then, i think the next step was I set [rectangle 4 3]'s 2nd and 3rd inputs to 16 (numberbox) and 9 (numberbox) respectively. So then, in the gemwin, with rendering still on, the rectangle was just plain white. The camera i dont believe ever powered off during this whole duration. I changed one menu option in the camera to display 4:3 window borders but also tested turning this menu option off with the white rectangle still there in effect. If i figure out a resolution on my own, I'll make the attempt to post it.
for one thing, this is surely unrelated to your changing [square] and [rectangle] and whatever.
since the texture get's white (instead of blue), this indicates that no frames are being captured any more from the camera (which corresponds to the graph-related error message you get), which in turn means either a driver or hardware problem.
it would be interesting to know which hardware you are using (analog capture card, usb-cam, ieee1394-cam,...).
have you restarted pd? does it help?
if not, does the device still work with other applications? (probably they are able to reset the device to a proper state).
if not, does a reboot help? (ok, i'm repeating myself)
