Troubleshooting
Install, activate, and capture.
Use this guide for the most common ProphyCapture setup issues before opening a ticket.
Install checklist
- Download the latest installer from the ProphyCapture download link.
- Run the installer as administrator.
- Enter the license key exactly as shown in the license email.
- Restart the TWAIN-compatible imaging application after install.
- Select ProphyCapture from the TWAIN source list.
If the camera does not show
- Confirm the camera or capture card is visible in Windows Camera or Device Manager.
- Close any other app that may already be using the camera.
- Open ProphyCapture from the Start Menu, click Refresh, and select the camera source.
- Unplug and reconnect the camera if Windows recently updated drivers.
If the TWAIN source does not appear
- Confirm the imaging application is 32-bit and supports TWAIN sources.
- Run the installer again as administrator to repair the TWAIN data source install.
- Restart the imaging application after reinstalling.
- Open a support ticket if Twacker 32 can see ProphyCapture but the imaging app cannot.
If activation fails
- Check for extra spaces before or after the license key.
- Confirm the PC has internet access to https://prophycapture.com.
- If the license was used on another workstation, submit a ticket and request an activation reset.
- Include diagnostics from the ProphyCapture app when possible.
