LifeCam has suddenly stopped working after many years

Original title: problem with my Microsoft Lifecam VX-6000

Problem with my Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000.  I used my LifeCam several times when using Skype, but now it will not work.  I examined a large number of questions and answers that are listed in the support forum but nothing I found fixes my problem.  I am running Vista Home Premium on my HP #SR5050NX PC with a 32-bit operating system.  I used this webcam for many years without any problems, but now it will not work.  I reinstalled the current drivers on the Microsoft site and it appears in Device Manager that the drivers are correct for the LifeCam VX-6000 webcam.  When I try to open Microsoft LifeCam it locates my camera and the green light comes on but no picture.  When using Skype, he finds the camera LifeCam 6000 but gives me a message that it cannot use this device because it might already be in use by another application, but no other application works.  I have also a Cisco Webcam that I have in the past to select which camera I wanted to use while Skyping but he stopped working at the same time my LifeCam 6000 ceased.  I get the same message... This webcam cannot be used because it might already be in use.  The drivers are correct on this camera as well.  What can I do to fix this?

Thanks, I appreciate your help and your support!

  • My DVD/CD drive has suddenly stopped working under Windows 7

    Ive been using Windows 7 for about 6 months now with on any trouble until recently my DVD drive has suddenly stopped working. Windows detects the drive but when I double click on it in my computer it says please insert disc. I find the drive in Device Manager and windows recognises that there is an error that says:

    Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)

    I tried to uninstall the drivers in Manager device and rebooted the computer to let auto windows find the driver and reinstall it but to start, I get a message that says:

    Device not installed driver software

    I know that the drive is fine because it works fine in Ubuntu Linux system he worked great in windows 7, so stopped. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Go to the Web site of the factory, download the driver appropriate for your device. Uninstall the driver that is currently installed and uninstall the device in Device Manager. Reboot... After you restart, you have 1 of 2 options depending on how the software is packed from the manufacturing. (A) put an end to the automatic Windows installation feature and use the downloaded software to take care of it for you... If that's how it is set up to operate or (b) wait for windows to auto-trouvez and try to install the device, and when he asked the pilots to open and extract files downloaded to any location you choose and point the installer of windows in this direction.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
    correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

  • 6457 - Lenovo T61p has suddenly stopped working!

    My Lenovo T61p 6457 has suddenly stopped working.

    When I turn it on I see the power and drive green lights HARD turns on and since another computer on my network I can access individual files on the hard drive the T61p.

    However when I connect the T61p via a VGA cable for an external monitor to work I don't see Windows or images on the screen!

    Do you think it is just a problem with the screen or is there something else?

    The screen currently installed on the T61p 6457 is WSXGA 1680 x 1050 (Samsung LTN154P2-LO5).

    I found a job WUXGA 1920 x 1200 with inverter and cable in the box of original case Lenovo T61p high - that will work in my T61p?

    original title: can't find the wireless device

    Hello again, Kathy,

    More specific instruction, I can give to check settings in the BIOS of your system is to search for a list of devices that installed your laptop. There are only two options for each device, activate them and deactivate them.
    Look for something listed as network radio or wireless card and make sure that it is set to enable.
    The option that you network adapter found can also control the wireless adapter, but it can control only the plug adapter (Ethernet) network.
    A simpler solution, if you have not already tried it it is the system restore in Windows as mentioned by Kiran in a previous answer:
    WARNING: Changing the BIOS / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can resolved e. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
