Re: Problem with Webcam

Who makes that webcam? I've never heard of it.

Re: Problem with Webcam

The manufacterer is Genius, www.geniusnet.com and there are not available
drivers for Vista at their site for any webcam. The thing is that I used an
older Genius webcam with Vista withouth Vista drivers because they aren't
available, and it worked perfectly...

Re: Problem with Webcam

Does the webcam show up in device manager under imaging devices? If it does,
it can be used with MSN Messenger and with Live Messenger. Go to Tools |
Audio Video Tuning Wizard and follow the steps.

If you want to use it anywhere else you will need the manufacturers
software.

Re: Problem with Webcam

I can't use it with Messenger, it doesn't find any webcams, or a mic.

Re: Problem with Webcam

Get a webcam that is supported by the manufacturer that will work in Vista.

Re: Problem with Webcam

Sorry, I don't write drivers. The manufacturer does. If he doesn't - it's
time to replace the hardware.
