Issue with CMUCam2 Demo application

[Bio]

We're trying to calibrate our CMUCam2 with the instructions provided, but we seem to be running into some problems. With the old version of the application (the one updated on the thirteenth) we could run the binary tracking indefinitely, but we had the purple problem. So with the latest version (the one updated on the seventeenth), we can upload the settings, but when we attempted to run binary tracking mode for the required 5 seconds, the camera crashed.

We tried using last years camera and realized that the hardware in the camera was the part that was failing while interacting with the software. Nothing works until you restart the camera itself (we tried opening a new instance of the CMUCam 2 gui, the camera restarts; third gui worked, but settings were cleared)

Any way we can fix this? Any updates? Other ways of configuring?

Thanks in advanced for any help.
