Reinstall of dashboard doesn't fix camera image streaming

I'm trying to get the camera to stream images to the dashboard. Currently, this is what happens:

The code (in C++) looks like this:
Code:
                printf("in operator control\n");
		GetWatchdog().SetEnabled(false);
		AxisCamera &camera = AxisCamera::getInstance();
		camera.writeResolution(k320x240);
		camera.writeBrightness(0);
		printf("Done with camera\n");
		Wait(3.0);
		printf("done waiting\n");
which is at the top of Operator Control. The IP address of the dashboard machine is 10.15.40.5. I have updated the cRIO and also installed the LabView and dashboard updates, as well as the missing DLL.

When I run the code, I get, in the console:
Code:
in operator control
task 0x1de16ff0 (FRC_cameraTask) deleted: errno=0 (0) status=0 (0)
Done with camera
done waiting
After looking at the thread at http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ghlight=camera I uninstalled and then reinstalled the driver station update. This did not resolve my problem.

I can ping the camera from the cRIO's command prompt and I set up the camera using the "Setup Axis Camera" tool.

When I run the program and look at the dashboard, all that I see for the camera is a white screen.

Does anyone have any ideas why it isn't working?

Thanks.
