Microsoft LifeCam Cinema installation problems

Try to install Microsoft LifeCam Cinema 3.5 on my home Windows XP - SP2.  Downloaded the software, but for some reason it does not recognize that the camera is connected.  I unplugged the unit and tried different USB ports, but nothing seems to work, even if we are able to download photos from our camera using the same USB ports.  Any suggestions?

  • LifeCam Cinema - focus problem

    Hello
    I just brought a lifecam cinema.  It runs on Windows 32 - bit XP, SP3, with the latest Microsoft webcam software.

    My Lifecam Cinema appears to not be auto focus.  I have 3 feet of the webcam, and I blurred and imprecise.  The objects in the room are also blurred.  The only thing that is developed is if I take an object and that it hold about 3 inches from the webcam.  The focus seems to be right in front of the lens.

    I tried to play with the setting of development under the microsoft Lifecam software.  I tried it with the balance of the development of setting 'auto '.  I tried to uncheck the auto and manually move the Focuser scroll bar and hit apply.  No difference in short - everything behind a few inches from the lens is blurry.

    I tried different intensities.  I tried to move the scene and set the webcam in another XP box.  No improvement.

    It is possible the unit I have is defective and not auto focus?

    Thank you.

    Just to close the loop - Yes, the webcam was defective.  I got a replacement and it wears very well.  So, the first auto focus issues.  It's just to help those who watch this upward in the future.

  • Impossible to install the software for microsoft lifecam cinema 3

    I can't get the software to install.  Abandonment keeps telling me that there is another incomplete installation pending.  Here's the exact message:

    Setup cannot continue because another installation is already in progress.

    I don't have any other facilities pending.  I rebooted and rebooted several times.   Using Vista.  The unit works fine, but I don't have the software to do things with him cool because I can't seem to install.  And I can't contact the Microsoft support because I can not find the product ID number anywhere.  Very frustrating.

    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Hello crazypokemon,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forums.

    Sometimes computers do not always perfectly work as expected, and we need to make changes to get the equipment to work.

    Since you get an error message when you try to install the Lifecam software and States error installation is already in progress, I would like to use the Windows Installer Cleanup tool. Click here to download the cleaning tool. You can use the utility to remove installation information for programs that were installed by using Windows Installer. Remember that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall on.

    Once you have installed the tool, right-click on the installation executable and select "Run as Administrator". Then a list of programs is listed. Select the Lifecam software you want to uninstall. This will remove all corrupted files installation. Then restart the software installation.

    Hope this will help get your software installed and working tools.

    Thank you, Marilyn

    Separated from this thread.

    Hello

    Yes, I got the latest version of the software. I also tried all the sugested fixes in the file as sugested elsewhere on this forum and help. It's weird the sound works but not the video. I should add that this is the second lifecam that I had this problem with that I sent the first back that I thought it was faulty.

    It worked before, so no real don't problem with 64.bit Win 7, but all of a sudden whenever I try to enter in the software of the camera, told me that "the unit must be plugged. IT IS PLUGGED IN! When I disconnect it, the typical sound occurs, even when I plug it in again. How can I eliminate this annoying problem and even more boring message that opens?

    I downloaded the latest driver, all of the software, but I said always that I already have the most recent and on my PC. Can someone help me out here?

  • How to operate the two cams of LifeCam Cinema web on one computer?

    I would like to simultaneously run two webcams Microsoft LifeCam cinema of a single 64-bit Windows 7 computer. But I can only raise a Microsoft LifeCam instance at a time. I can do two at a time by using the sample available with Visual Studio 2010 MFCaptureD3D software, but I have to be able to control the camera, i.e. set the focus manually and select a higher resolution available. How can I accomplish this?  Is there information or code to access the device settings?

    Hello

    I fear that you will not be able to exploit two webcams Lifecam Cinema on a single computer, but you can check with third-party software that might solve your problem

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    I try to use my Lifecam ( Microsoft Lifecam Cinema HD ) on Pic4pass ( http://www.pic4pass.com/ ) but repeat me my webcam resolution is too low. I changed the resolution of the 600 s then 800 s and cannot go higher garbage laptop specs, and it still does not accept it.

    Help

    Unfortunately for you ensure that your photo meets government requirements that pic4pass requires a webcam with a minimum video resolution of 1600 x 1200 px.

    But you can also upload a photo from your digital camera or a mobile phone; almost all digital cameras have high enough resolution.
