To unlock one of our filters or codecs, you must use DSKernel2::UnlockModule and pass in the appropriate serial number for the module you wish to unlock.  If you do not know what serial number to use for the modules, you will need to contact sales@leadtools.com in order to get them.

I too have this problem - I don't want the software, and I want to REMOVE whatever it is and wherever it is running. I must confess that I find the incessant popup of multiple reminder boxes a highly unprofessional approach to handling licensing. I find it hard to believe that a professional software house of any credibility would choose this route. Not only is it inconvenient and an invasion of my privacy, but it also impacts on business as I am spending so much time trying to get rid of this.    Report

To remove a LEAD DirectShow Filter from your computer:   1. Open the Windows Run dialog by going to Start -> Run. 2. In the text box enter: regsvr32 -u [DLL] where [DLL] is the full name and path of the DLL you are unregistering and it would be something like "c:\windows\system32\LMScrCap2.DLL" depending on what the actual file name is.  If you are not sure what the name of the DLL in use is, do a search in your System32\ directory for any DLL files with the prefix "LM", "LMA", and "LMV" because these are LEAD DirectShow Filter dlls.  However, make sure you check the properties (right-click -> Properties) of the DLL to make sure that it is a LEAD Technologies file because there are some Microsoft DLLs that start with LM as well. 3. Delete the file, [DLL], that you just unregistered. Greg Ross LEADTOOLS Technical Support    Report

The only way to remove this is to follow the manual uninstallation directions I mentioned above.  If you cannot find the DLL, then you will need to use a tool such as Process Explorer to see exactly which DLLs are being used by your application.  Process Explorer is freely available from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/ProcessExplorer.mspx .  The LEADTOOLS filter DLLs will have prefixes such as LM, LMV and LMA.  The "LEAD Screen Capture (2.0)" is LMScrCap2.dll or LMScrCapE.dll.  These files are usually located in the C:\Windows\System32\ directory. If you are a developer using the LEADTOOLS Multimedia Toolkit and are getting these messages even though you've purchased the toolkit, please see the very first response I made regarding the DSKernel2 object.

I tried installing MSN Messenger as well as the screen capture filter on my machiine but can't find any way to even use the filter.  Please include the steps you are taking in MSN Messenger to recreate this problem. Also, are you sure you are getting the message for the LEAD Screen Capture Filter or are you getting something else like one of our encoders or decoders?

Attachment: Lead1.jpg I uninstalled MSN Live Messenger and installed MSN Messenger 7.5 v. After I did this the message only appeared once. With process explorer it showed the following message: "The owning process is VMSnap3.exe (Process ID 1124) which is not currently visible in the process list" I have also made screen shot of the messages. Please see attachement.    Report

Attachment: screens.zip I've never heard of VMSnap3.exe and can't find much on the web regarding it.  Most pages are either people having problems with IE or Asian websites.  My guess is that if you don't have a clue what it is, then it can be removed (most likely it's in your C:\Windows\System32\ directory).  If you don't feel comfortable deleting it, then I would first rename it to something like VMSnap3.exe.bad to make sure it doesn't make other things go wrong.  If other things stop working because they need it, then just rename it back. Lastly, if you are completly certain that the actual filter DLL doesn't exist on your machine, then it was probably not unregistered before it was removed.  Since it's in the registry, other programs THINK that the dll is still on the system, but I'm still surprised the pop-up would still appear.  I didn't have a chance to test it since I can't reproduce your problem, but I would guess if you eradicate the screen filter's entries in the registry that your popup will not show up anymore because in the view of any application that might try to use the filter it's not there. I don't usually like to suggest for people to manually edit their registry, so it really would be best if you were able to find the screen capture file and then unregister it with regsvr32.exe (instructions in an earlier post).  However, if the file doesn't exist, then this is the only way: 1. **BACK UP** your registry. There are shareware utilities that allow you to do this easily. Search Download.com for such a utility. 2. Go to Start -> Run. 3. Enter in "regedit.exe" and click OK. 4. Search for "LEAD Screen Capture Filter (2.0)", it will likely show up in multiple places.  You may even be able to find the name and location of the DLL this way as well, see attached screenshots 1 and 2.  If you cannot find the file name and unregister it or the file doesn't exist as specified in the registry then you will need to move onto step 5 and start deleting entries. 5. Most likely, the root key of where you found LEAD Screen Capture Filter (2.0) will be named with a CLSID (see screenshot 3).  You now need to search for and delete any registry entries that have this CLSID.  When you search for it, make sure you remove the brackets.

I had installed eBeam software to test it but never had the time to do so or to purchase it. Now that i searched the Reg i found the file you mentioned in program files of eBeam. eBeam is a prodcut of http://www.luidia.com/ But why would the screen capture error appear with msn Live Messenger still don't make sence to me?? If you find any info on the subject pls let me know. Thanks, Samer    Report

Glad you found out where it was.  Our primary focus is Developer toolkits, so Luidia must have used our tools for their application.  If you are planning on keeping that software, you might want to contact their support department and see if you can get that problem fixed because they should be able to unlock that module so that it works with any other application and would keep you from getting that pop-up message. As for MSN Live Messenger (or any other application), our filters and codecs are DirectShow compatible.  That means that any application that can utilize DirectShow codecs and filters (such as Windows Media Player and apparently MSN messenger) can look in the registry for DirectShow codecs and filters and then try to use them.  That's why if you remove it from the registry, it won't be used anymore because none of the applications can use it.  For a more detailed reason, you'd need to contact Microsoft since they've built MSN Messenger.

Greg, What flags I should use in the DSKernel2::UnlockModule method in order to unlock the module so it will remove the "eval message" from all the applications (Messenger, Skype, etc)? Thank you.    Report
