Error installing LifeCam VX-2000. Help?

Installed Microsoft LifeCam VX-2000 on my computer emachines laptop and it worked fine the first night, he has used to perhaps five minutes and that's it. Home from work and he has been absent from my Start menu/desktop. Okay, so I installed it again.

He has not worked since.
I can't find any virus.
I used the software to remove the lifecam completely and all of the remaining files before restarting my computer and software to try again, but with no luck.

I get this error:
"LifeCam.exe has stopped working. A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. »

Sometimes followed by this error message:
"The application could not initialize properly (0xc0000006). Click OK to close the application. »

It gives me troubleshooting information, but nothing seems to help. I didn't bother with the advanced material because I'm not 100% sure about what I do and don't want anything else.

Someone, anyone, tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

Hi KrisHodder,

First of all I suggest you to install the drivers for the webcam using the DVD provided with the web camera or by visiting the link below.

You can also visit the following links and try the steps:

You receive message error "there is no camera connected" or "Initialization error", and that the video preview is empty when you start the LifeCam software

  • Microsoft Lifecam VX-2000 shows black video when the software is installed

    Original title: Microsoft Lifecam VX-2000

    I just bought and followed the installation instructions to install and operate the lifecam vx-2000.

    I tried first to find this product on the support webpage itself, but it has not been listed with the other lifecams. I have no idea why, because he is supposed to be a site of support for their products...

    My computer meets the requirements for the software.

    However, after the installation, I opened the microsoft lifecam software, the program screen is black.

    There is no error message. Just a black screen.

    I uninstalled the program and tried to connect the webcam without software and when I opened it upward through Skype video settings to see if she would recognize the camera - he did.

    So I'm a bit puzzled as to why the software will not work with the camera.

    Thus, once the software is loaded on the computer, the video from the camera stops working, until the program is removed once more my computer.

    A little disappointed and do not know how to solve this problem.

    Any suggestions or methods to solve this problem will be appreciated.

    Hello, Annick,.

    You mentioned first validation that you were unable to find the XP driver, is this always the case?

    Win XP driver is available here: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/DownloadResult.aspx?category=ICE&type=LifeCam&name=YFC-00001&os=XPSP2x64&lang=en

    Follow the same instructions above.

    Before installing LifeCam driver make sure that you have at least Windows XP Service Pack 2. You can download service packs using these links:

    Service pack 2: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=049c9dbe-3b8e-4f30-8245-9e368d3cdb5a

    Hello

    I ve bought a 32tl933g two weeks ago and the toshiba places there are stuff that I use every day, like youtube, the web Navig and so on.

    Now, I bought a webcam, the lifecam vx-2000 to use it on Skype, but I can´t install it.
    I ve tried to download the driver and put it on a stick, but it won´t work.

    Can someone help me and tell me how to install it. If it works at all?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    To my knowledge, the TV must be ready to use a Skype webcam.
    And if the TV is ready for Skype, you can use and webcam, but a special!
    You cannot connect any webcam possible.

    So first question: is this Skype ready TV?
    This is not mentioned in the user manual so I guess that it s not.

    Take a look at this thread:

    For example: the 40RL938 is a Skype-ready TV and FreeTalk HD: TALK-7291 could be used.

    Hi I solved it, please read because it might help you too!

    When I opened this thread I tried for 4 hours to solve this problem * and apparently a lot of people have problems with the installation procedure.

    When I installed the program, I noticed at the beginning in a small window that shows progress, he showed a folder he had created and had a random name composed of letters and numbers such as: 56eb37a890142, go and find him!

    In this case, it creates subfolders where the subfolder has the name «windowsinstaller»

    • Drive:\56eb37a890142\windowsinstaller\x86\windowsxp-KB942288-v3-x86.exe

    (Your path may be different, but the mine was created on a different driver/partition that my Windows driver.)

    During installation, I was going through all the steps (in fact I just leave the installation in the middle of the process, as it is, if I remember there are 3 steps, first unpacking, the other 2 steps is displayed in a new window, and I don't remember now I did the 2nd step, however, this is the 3rd step that fails but in this hack you do not go there)
    ... instead, once the 56eb37a890142 folder was created, I went in the subfolder and installed the

    • WindowsXP-kb942288-v3 - x 86 .exe

    Once this file has been installed, Windows automatically forced the closure of programs and handed over in market, after reboot, I returned to the

    random 56eb37a890142 of the folder and double-click the following file

    • Setup.exe

    All of a sudden the installation went through, obviously something is wrong with the installation program, I think it not to apply the update of windowsxp-kb942288-v3 - x 86 .exe, or somehow fail to do.

    One last thing on the randomness of the '56eb37a890142' folder, I have a low memory, if the installation failed, the folder would be removed, so we might have to make a copy of it.

    Edit: I checked the Windows Installer "windowsxp-kb942288-v3 - x 86 .exe '.

    It's a "Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable", it can be downloaded separately from the link here below, we could try this instead of the procedure described above:

    • https://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=8483

    Help, please.  I just installed a Lifecam VX-2000 and I can't get the video to work - message "there is no camera connected to this computer" when you open Microsoft Lifecam.  In addition, the Lifecam dashboard is unavailable.  I have searched and tried all other troubleshooting advice without solution.  Help, please.
