  • 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

  • Error installing LifeCam VX-2000. Help?

    Installed Microsoft LifeCam VX-2000 on my computer emachines laptop and it worked fine the first night, he has used to perhaps five minutes and that's it. Home from work and he has been absent from my Start menu/desktop. Okay, so I installed it again.

    He has not worked since.
    I can't find any virus.
    I used the software to remove the lifecam completely and all of the remaining files before restarting my computer and software to try again, but with no luck.

    I get this error:
    "LifeCam.exe has stopped working. A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. »

    Sometimes followed by this error message:
    "The application could not initialize properly (0xc0000006). Click OK to close the application. »

    It gives me troubleshooting information, but nothing seems to help. I didn't bother with the advanced material because I'm not 100% sure about what I do and don't want anything else.

    Someone, anyone, tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

  • My Microsoft LifeCam program gives me a message that: "there are no cammera connected to this computer.

    A few months ago, I unplugged my computer to go to my friends for a LAN party House, when I am back and plugged my LifeCame VX 2000, and started the software called Microsoft LifeCam, it gave me a message telling me that there is no cammera connected to the computer.

    I then went to the Device Manager and it says I have a vega USB 2.0 connected and nothing on a Microsoft LifeCam.

    I also went to check on Skype and he also said I have a vega 2.0 USB connected.

    Another strange thing is that only the microphone of this "vega USB 2.0' works on Skype and not video.

    I have windows 7 ultimate 64-bit, I defenitely have the system requirements, because after all, it's a gaming PC.

    I have the latest drivers for and software as far as I'm concerned, because I checked in the device for Update Manager and he told me that all my drivers are up to date.

    Hello
     
     
     
    Method 1.
    With LifeCam VX 2000 connected in the not working USB Port...

    (a) open the Device Manager and search for imaging devices -> Microsoft LifeCam VX 2000 and Uninstall. (no need to remove the system drivers, can leave installed)

    (b) now search sound, video and game controllers -> Microsoft LifeCam VX 2000 and Uninstall. (also good can leave the drivers in the system, no need to delete)

    (c) now unplug the webcam not workingUSB port, wait a few secconds andplug a job.

    succesfully d) wait a while until it initialized in the system.

    ((e) now doing exactly the same things, as described in stage a) and b).

    (f) now change ports USB again, wait that it is properly installed in the system sayingready to use.

    After this webcam should work and Microsoft LifeCam application should detect it in the first USB port which did not work before, saying"There is no camera connected to this computer".

     
    Now check if the camera initializes and also if she also works in Skype.
     
    Method 2.
    If the problem persists, you can see the methods listed in the section below.
    Set the empty preview, "initialization error" or 'no camera not connected' error in the LifeCam 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.

    Hello

    To my knowledge, the TV must be ready to use a Skype webcam.
    And if the TV is ready for Skype, you can use and webcam, but a special!
    You cannot connect any webcam possible.

    So first question: is this Skype ready TV?
    This is not mentioned in the user manual so I guess that it s not.

  • Microsoft wireless desktop 2000 USB transceiver works do not.

    I have Microsoft Wireless Desktop 2000 for a while now, about 2 months.

    Its under warranty. Now, all of a sudden, the radio stopped working.

    I know because if I apply a slight pressure on the transceiver downwards, he begins to respond and when I take off the pressure, it stops responding.

    P.S. I also tried all the troubleshooting methods.

    I tried service and technical support centres. They say that Microsoft does not provide two-way radios separately and I buy the complete kit again.

    Now I can't do it because he is a few months old and I've spent a small fortune buying the kit.

    I hope someone at Microsoft to help me.
