Logitech Webcam Messenger-Vista Ultimate

Despite Logitech's lack of support, I gather that it is possible to get this
camera to work with Vista. Any ideas please?

that web camera is not support by vista

I have a Logitech Fusion webcam and found a vista driver on Logitech's site.
When I installed it, the cam worked fine, but when I rebooted, Vista wanted
me to reinstall the software to make it work.

this is nuts. Vista gives me a hard time when installing all kinds of stuff.
i should have stuck with the older version of windows

As the apparent originator of this query (some weeks ago), please allow me
to elaborate:
1. I have a Webcam Messenger left over from my XP days. I know it was not
Vista supported by Logitech, but wanted to check if any of you experts had
found any work around to make it vista compatible.
2. I did a find search in advance of my query - no response.
3. Even in retrospect it seems to me to be a reasonably intelligible query.
Sorry if it seemed obtuse.

Messenger 7.5.0324 and MSN messenger are both capable of using my Logitech
QuickCam Fushion. I do not even use the drivers from the Logitech web site.
I just use what is supplied from the Vista install and subsequent Window
downloads.

If you are trying to use a different version of Messenger you are likely NOT
supported. If you have a different webcam you will have to sort it out with
Logitech. They may not support your webcam under Vista. If this is the case
you have a problem with Logitech, not with Vista. It is the hardware
manufacturers job to supply the requisite drivers for their hardware, either
by inclusion in the Vista install or from their web site.

I know that my version is NOT supported by Logitech and I do not feel it to
be a Vista problem.
I just wondered if anyone here had found a way around this incompatibility.
A query worth making don't you think?

But you still haven't stated what webcam you have! Logitech doesn't help.
What model? No one can begin to assist you until you state such and also
tell what version of messenger you are trying to use it under.

You may get the help you desire if you give details. Someone who solved the
equation may see your question.

I suggest you post the pertinent information and question in a new post
rather than burying it here.

This is totally out of the subject but it bugged me

Wasnt it Socrates who said, If you knew as much as you tought you knew,
you would know you know nothing.

I don't know. But I am certain some caveman grunted the same basic thought
stream to his offspring

Try this (it is my trick)
1. Download QuickCam 8.4.8 with driver for WinXP.
2. Install WinRAR if not already installed yet.
3. Open the setup installer qc848enu.exe and unpack its contents to a folder. Alternatively, right click on qc848enu.exe and select “Extract to qc848enu\” option. (do not plug in the logitech quickcam to a USB port)
4. Open the unpacked folder of the qc848enu.exe setup
5. Open the setup in XP compatible mode and install it, when the install end your system should be reboot.
6. after your system reboot
7. where it says "Please plug in your camera to the USB port" plug in your cam to a USB port. (and wait a few seconds), your system should appear "device driver software insalled successfully.
8. click next setup your cam ....... finish

The name of the camera is specified in the post title. Don't know what
your confusion is about, but the guy is asking a decent and pertinent
question. It is about the fact that Logitech does not support their
legacy cameras such as Quick Messenger for the Vista Systems.

I don't know, do you have to answer if you don't understand the
question? Even more, consider that it may be your problem if you don't
know/get the idea. It is a sensible thing to do before you start
writing. Right?

Who, and what post, are you referring to. You quoted nothing!
