I found a solution for the error "failed to register camera category: Unspecified error" (or "Failed to read friendly name: ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND"). With the program 'Filmerit' I deleted all DirectShow- and other codecerrors. After this I had to de- and reinstall the CL-Driver for the PS3Eye Camera. Now it works! But remember, do it on your own risk! Thanks V4Friend for this program and your help! Egosa-U thank you too!

Thanks for your answer! I deinstalled this codecpack some time ago, so this couldn't be the fault. When I start FaceTrackNoIR with WinDbg (MS debugging tool), the error appears after loading msvfw32.dll. But this file isn't missing. What is the next file faceAPI is loading after msvfw32.dll? Maybe somebody can post the debug-logfile of a running faceAPI?

I've got also a PS3 Eye with the CL-Eye-Driver-4.0.2.1017 driver and Win 7 x64. But I always get the errormessage "failed to register camera category: Unspecified error" when I start FreeTrackNOIR 1.5. It's also not possible for me to start the FaceAPI Demo. Every time I start the Demo I receive the errormessage "Failed to read friendly name: ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND". I tried it with the MSI StarCam, but I got the same result. Even without a camera it appears the same errormessage. In the 'Windows Safe Mode' it happens too. I think it has nothing to do with the camera or the CL-Driver. Any ideas what to do?
