I had one admin account with UID 507. I have created a new one that has a UID of 505, and I want to eventually delete the old one.

I'm trying to use a MV830 as a webcam but the thing keeps on shutting off. It has some sort of auto power save. I don't want to have a tape in it when I'm using it as a webcam. Is there any way of disabling this irritating feature? Nothing seems to be applicable in the Menus. ... 16 Aug 2006 13:47
