    If you are trying to extract the .ipk file for what ever reason, use 7-zip.

    why are you using that when you can get known working cams directly from the plugin server and www.openvix.co.uk (minus config files of course)>

    No etension? are you sure the plugin name doesn't include something like (1).ipk?
    Anyway, I'd do as pheonix suggests & install cams from the plugin feeds.

    Download it directly from the image feeds, and which exact ViX image (including build number) are you using ??.

    Its Virtuosso Image Xtreme By Team Vix Version Apollo Build o.30 Kernal 3.3.5 I hope that helps Pheonix

    Would something like Uniblue Powersuite the ultimate maintenance for the pc, could that fix the problem with the computer.The Vu+duo 2 was bought from the sponsors of this site.

    Good news , I have mgcamd 1.35 working now on the vu+duo2 as of this morning .I new I had a usb stick some where with a few cams I had downloaded a year or so a go,I found it this morning and the computer didnt come up an error and I was able to ftp it to the box.And with in five minuets of finding the usb stick ,I had the box working .I new I was doing all the right things in ftp-ing the cam to the box just that the computer wouldn't let me do it without putting an error in its way.How do you keep the cam working all the time please without having to restart the cam every time you switch the box back on again ,I hope that makes sense .
