Failed to install LifeCam HD-3000
Hello
I can't install Lifecam HD 3000 on a Win XP PC with all of the updates in the order.
An error message appears during installation says it failed without and reason and gave the following link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953691I have gone through all the steps on this link, but does not help.
I checked the people who have had the same problem, but no help, links below I checked

I also tried mode of fail-safe with network enabled, logged as administrator, but with the same defect.
Why can't download us manually the installation complete SW?
(SW 'LifeCam3.60.exe' can be downloaded from- https://www.Microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/LifeCam-HD-3000
is not a complete package of SW, it comes in contact with MS and download more things and that is what crashes, we can see the connection in a firewall schedule downloads about 5 MB, which is of ~ 10% of the progress bar up to what it fails, then obviously, the whole package, he wants DL exceeds > 50 MB)
Please if possible give me a link for the complete SW a manual download, or where to find a generic webcam SW, if it is not please give some advice how to do this, thanks in advance.
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:

Problem dark videoconference with WinLive Messenger and LifeCam VX-3000
My LifeCam VX-3000 webcam cannot support a video call in Windows Live Messenger. I can text back OK, and sound and motion video work very well when I check the audio/video settings. When I try a video connection, the system hangs on my end... the other party may accept the call but my end still ringing and the video image is frozen... There is no sound during this video call attempt. The system is XP Home SP3... all security is up to date. I use a 6 Mbit internet service. I did a complete uninstall of Windows Live Essentials, re-installed components and get the same result. This Setup worked fine until a week ago. This problem would have started at the time, I installed and started using MagicJack, but I tried to uninstall Magic Jack and the result is the same. Maybe another change is that Windows Live Messenger has offered an upgrade to a newer version that was made. I'm looking for some ideas on any peripheral or software conflicts and methods to isolate or resolve them.
Hello
Method 1.
First of all I ask you to re - install the Microsoft Life Cam software and drivers from the link below and then check out.
http://www.Microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=iceMethod 2.
If the problem persists, perform a clean boot to find any conflicting with the Windows Live Messenger application.
For more inoformation on boot, refer to the article below.
How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353
Note: Don't forget to set the computer to start normal, as mentioned in the above article.Also update the chipset drivers and check. You may need to contact the manufacturer of the computer for that.I hope this helps.Thank you, and in what concerns:

Issues installing LifeCam VX-3000
I recently bought a LifeCam VX-3000. The first time I tried to install it, I left the computer for more than an hour and it's finished. The progress bar is complete, then restart. So I closed it. When I try to install it again, it freezes at the 'Welcome to LifeCam Setup' page. I tried to install the webcam via the driver through the Microsoft Web site, but which led to the same question.
Hi Brian0123,
1. you receive messages or error codes?
Step 1:
You can try right-clicking on the Lifecam setup.exe file and select run as administrator to install the software.
Step 2:
You can also check the following items and see if it helps.

LifeCam VX - 3000 Permission help?
I recently bought a Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 and have installed fine but when I go to the desktop icon to set the webcam it comes back with a message saying "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. Can anyone offer help on this please? Thank you, Dave.
I don't know exactly where the problem was.
That's why I've included this way to reinstall.
And I thought it would be a shortcut icon on your desktop, not the setup.exe itself.
Have you looked into the start menu > programs > to find the Webcam program installed there?
Then, you should be able to change the settings of it.
If you > right click > Send to > shortcut icon on the desktop.
See you soon.

Hello
I bought a lifecam HD-3000 to make an image with opencv processing in microsoft vs c ++ 2010.
Everytime I open the camera and see the picture continuously. the automatic white balance is on and auto exposure is on.
It's strange because I turned these features off (and truecolour) in microsoft lifecam tool.
In Skype, it works very well, as the lifecam dashboard (icon on the menu bar appears when using the camera) allowing the user to change the video options, unfortunetly this does not show for my opencv program.
It's like the lifecam app should be on this next video off (or other features be adjusted elsewhere).
Is there a design flaw? Y at - it some kind of fix or coded the command to keep the dashboard life cam while my program is turned on.
I'm using the software v3.6.
