[AG-TECH] Problems with Access Grid 2.4 client

[Michael Miller]

I've seen this if the resolution is set to 640X480 or the encoding is 
set to something other than H.261.  Also, choosing the 352X288 
resolution will get rid of the unsightly grey area around the image that 
you see when the resolution is set to 320X240.

hope this helps

You should then get options to configure your camera.  You should set the resolution to something like 320x240.  This should then not crash.
