Hi avicap32.dll seems to be not compatible with newer OS. You may think of using one of the option for Image capture in Windows 8.1 1. DirectShow dll (http://sourceforge.net/projects/directshownet/files/) 2. Microsoft expression dll (comes with Microsoft Expression 4) Have a look at below post for more details.

First of all I would like to say Prakash sir thank you for the time taken to read my question as well as to reply Well I'm using avicap32.dll to work on. Now I have downloaded the code fromhttp://lobsterproductions.weebly.com/downloads.html the given link but little change of L.O.C(Line Of Code) I have made. and this works fine in Win Xp/Vista/7 as well But When ever I'm trying to work on Win 8.1 64bit Whenever form gets loaded for the first time it captures the Image/Photo and using savefile dialogbox I'm saving picture into the drive after saving picture into drive when I hit the start button on the Form1 it is showing a pop up window saying that Select a video Device and when I select the dUSB2.0 Camera and hit a apply button then there is no flow of camera on the picture box of the form1. Thanking you once again .
