Vitamin D Video stopped recording and is no longer running

If you have set up Vitamin D Video to record, then returned to your computer to find that nothing was recorded, possible causes include:

Your computer power settings are set to automatically sleep after a certain period of time. To prevent this, set your computer's power settings to never sleep.
- On Windows XP, select Control Panel > Power Options. On the Power Schemes tab, set System standby and System hibernates to Never.
- On Vista, select Control Panel > Power Options. Click "Change plan settings" for the select power plan, and in the next screen click "Change advanced power settings." Click "Processor power management > Minimum processor state > Setting. Set this at 100%.
- On Mac OS, select System Preferences > Energy Saver. Click the Sleep Tab to see the first setting "Put the computer to sleep when it is inactive for." Set this at "Never."
- An automatic Windows update caused your system to reboot. There is a control panel setting to disable this.
  - On Windows XP, select Control Panel > System and select the Automatic Updates tab. Select any option except Automatic.
  - On Vista, select Control panel > Windows Update > Change settings. Select any option except "Install updates automatically."
  - Note: Mac OS does not install updates automatically.
- If you have a system shared by multiple people and accounts, someone may have logged off the account with Vitamin D Video. See Using Vitamin D Video more securely on a shared computer.
