This article was previously published under Q127987 SYMPTOMS
When you try to use the CapScrn tool (CAPSCRN.EXE) that is included with
Microsoft Video for Windows version 1.1 and the Video for Windows portion
of Microsoft Office Professional version 4.3c, you receive the following
error message:
Unable to load the capture driver. The driver is either already in
use, out of memory, or is not installed.
CAUSE
When you start CapScrn, SCRNCAP.DRV (the capture device driver) is loaded
into memory. MSVIDEO.DLL, the file responsible for loading this device
driver, has changed from Windows version 3.1 and requires an entry in the
SYSTEM.INI file to load the driver into memory correctly in Windows 95.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use any text editor (such as Notepad) to edit the SYSTEM.INI file.
Add the following line to the [Drivers] section of the file:
After you add this line, save and close the file and then restart your
computer.
