Any ideas on why Open() would fail?

VLDSCapture1->VideoCaptureDevice->DeviceName = VDComboBox->Text;

Something like 'CamSomeBrandBlablaV1000' or total jibberish?

It is the name of the video capture device populated with the call to VLDSCapture1->VideoCaptureDevice->GetDeviceList(VDComboBox->Items);
This is identical to the sample code in Advanced Video Capture and as I said it works just fine here. Am sure it isn't getting scrambled as they can see what it says and have relayed to it me. VidDeviceIndex is '0' which points to the first entry in the combo box of which in this case is the only one.

I've managed to get this far by sending them test apps with a few tattletails in the code to display variable values. This is how I discovered what was failing was the Open() function.

I know it's something weird with that particular computer but I still have to get it fixed whatever it is.
