Microsoft LifeCam Show color issue

I just got a new Microsoft LifeCam Show, and the color is off. I wear a dark brown shirt and its projection upward in light gray. Other colours seem to be grayed out too.

I tried to play with the properties, but nothing helped.

How can I fix?

Hello

I suggest to install the lifecam on another system and check if the problem persists.

If it persists also then on another system, it could be that the product is defective. I suggest you to return the product and exchange it for another lifecam. I suggest you contact Microsoft support hardware for help. Click on the link below.

  • 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

    The LifeCam software requires a card video and monitor that can run a resolution of at least 800 x 600 high color. Set the resolution of Windows display on 800 x 600 high color and then test the software.

  • Microsoft LifeCam vx-3000 for Windows 8?

    Can we expect Microsoft to publish an updated driver for Lifecam vx-3000 camera that is compatible with windows 8?  I'm willing to be patient if I know they are doing this.  The reason why I even bought Microsoft hardware is first and foremost because I expected Microsoft to keeping relatively up-to-date on their drivers for operating systems that they deliver.  If anyone has information (or if) a windows 8 driver will be issued which would be very useful.  Thank you.

    Try this driver it worked for me applies to: NX-6000, VX-1000, VX-2000, VX-3000, VX-5000, VX-5500, VX-6000, VX-7000.

    1. go in Control Panel

    2. go in programs

    3 uninstall Microsoft LifeCam

    4 restart the pc

    5. install this driver Softpedia Secure download (US)

  • Why do I have a loud hum when with audio recorded when I read a file saved with Microsoft LifeCam with the latest version of Microsoft Essentials?

    Why do I have a loud hum as well as audio recorded when I play a file saved using Microsoft LifeCam with the latest version of Microsoft Essentials?

    HUMS are usually ground fault loops.

    If it is a test of laptop with and without the power connected (using battery instead)

    The mic can also have a cut wire, etc.
