Default Error while taking picture

I am getting this error periodically. I have a script that takes five pictures in a row - one from each camera and I see this crop up every now and then?

10/27/2009 6:19:51 PM - Hauppauge Capture - An unexpected error occured in the TakePicture(490) function/subroutine: [429 - ActiveX component can't create object]

How much of delay do you have between the image captures? The Capture Utility runs on a separate thread so this error may be a result of trying to capture images too quickly. I have not seen that error on my system (see others but not that one). I pause for 1 second between image captures - but that is on the same camera.

I only have one input on my capture card so I am switching the cameras externally through a switcher - so this shouldn't impact the picture taking. I did get a message that I was snapping the pictures too quickly so I gradually increased the delay until this error message went away. I had to set it to 7 seconds between taking pictures.
