MICROSOFT LIFE CAM MODEL 1393 fails to load at startup.

My Microsoft Life Cam model 1393 does not work properly when booting, i.e. does not open. The only work around I have found is to unplug and re-plug the USB cable whenever I want to use it... fate of as pulling the choke on an old Chevrolet each time that you start it. Once I did the camera performs superbly in all areas, both audio and video. It works perfectly in HD with Messenger, Skype and Google. Once I disconnected and reconnected, I can turn off the unit and open it up without any problems. I am using a PC desktop configuration as follows:

  • Processor Intel Core 2 CPU * email address is removed for life private ***@2.93Ghz RAM 4 GB
  • O/s = Windows7 64-bit
  • Drivers camera = Version 3.20.240.0 = current so-called
  • Device Manager confirms that it works correctly
  • All the USB ports on the PC work. I tried at various ports
  • Uninstalled and reinstalled the unit unsuccessfully.
  • Device is not blocked by the firewall.

Any ideas will be appreciated.  Thank you... LO

  • Flash Player fails to load at startup

    I have recently upgraded to Flash Player 11.2.202.235 for my Win 7 64 bit system and have had any other problems since.  Can I install Flash Player and it works fine, until I have shut down or restart my system.  Once the system is restarted, it's as if Flash Player does not load.  I use IE 9 and AOL 9.6 as web browsers and get the same result in both.  I support google chrome with the flash drive to see if it would make a difference, no luck. When I look for flash player, it is in my recorded programs and I have a folder for it as well.  I did the following things: tried to download with on and outside, anti-virus firewall on and out, pop up blocker on and outside, on IE9 and by AOL, uninstalled and reinstalled, downloaded ActiveX filtering on and off.  Nothing seems to work, if I restart the computer, Flash Player is not recognized by any program... same Abobe.  I tried troubleshooting forums, no luck there either.  Anyone has any ideas or a similar problem?
