Cannot install VX-6000 on my Vista computer
Ok, so, since the CD it came with was version 1.1 I immediately downloaded
the latest driver (v.2) from the Microsoft support site. I proceeded to install the software, connect the webcam when instructed--and here was when I encountered issues. At first it would just recognize it as a CAMERA20 (as in 2.0), and it couldn't locate the drivers. I attempted to have the computer search for them in tthe Lifecam folder, but to no avail. Next, I attempted to install version 1.3 of the software and, while it now recognized it as a VX-6000, it wouldn't install properly, as it stated some portion of the program stored in the INF folder contained data compatible with Windows 95. It also recognized the webcam again, as a CAMERA20 and, of course, the drivers were unable to be installed. Now, I installed version 2.0 and this time it did recognize my hardware as a VX-6000 (as well as a CAMERA20) and it does not work. When I open the Lifecam application, I receive a "no camera has been found" error. I know this is all confusing, but could someome please help??!! |

Yes uninstall it all and install the 1.3 drivers and software using windows
XP compatibly then hook up the cam. Once installed restart the computer and Install the new drivers and software. All should work. "Kris" wrote in message ...
