Hi Folks,

I previously could use my Cuecat barcode scanner to enter DVD's by scanning the barcode.  Now, I can't.  The scanner is still recognized by DVD Profiler, but it enters the same number every time, which is a 33333????? number.  I thought perhaps something was wrong with the scanner, but I downloaded another DVD database program that also recognizes the scanner and it works perfectly in the other trial program.

Any ideas?

If you open the notepad (small text editor) and you scan a dvd UPC/EAN what is the result there?

that looks odd. Is it possible that your CueCat isn't declawed?
And/or isn't there a program that has to run to decode such stuff on the fly for non-declawed cats?

Looks like an un-modified cue-cat. But I wonder why it worked on the 3.1 version.
Unfortunately, I can't use DVDprofiler at the moment due to lack of a Windows computer.

No you can simply activate the caps lock before to scan your EAN and it will be OK without to have to change the keyboard settings.

Do you use a QWERTY keyboard? If not try switching to that


if one of those did not work:
I think you need catnip14.exe Windows (Rich Goldstein) get it on this Open Source CueCat software/drivers click on the Download locally next to it.

Are you still using 3.1? Or are you using 3.5 beta - if its the beta then report the problem there.

It has been so long since I set it up, I can't remember exactly what I did.  I'll have to go back over things to check.  It seems that the driver setup I chose allowed th declawed cat to work, now that I think of it.  Not sure.

I'm using 3.0.3.  I don't remember when it stopped working.  I think when it stopped working, I first thought it was something wrong with the cuecat and just entered in a couple barcodes by hand.  Then, didn't enter any for awhile.  So, I don't know which version worked and which one it stopped in.  It might not be related to the DVD Profiler version.  It might be that something happened to the cuecat setup.  I had forgotten about there being declawed and non-declawed cuecats.

I found the problem.  After searching my drives for the cuecat files I originally used to setup the cuecat, I discovered that the keyboard driver was back to the normal microsoft drivers.  I re-installed the keyboard driver I was using before and things are working again.

Thanks to everyone for your help/suggestions.
