Microsoft Lifecam Vx 800 won't work.

Hi, I can't get this cam to work. In Windows live messenger, it detects sound via the microphone, but the camera does not work.

Ive had a quick glance at the resolution of the problems on the microsoft Web site, and none of the solutions seem to work.

Method 1: When I am looking for the drivers I can't find. Theres no "microsoft lifecam" in program files or System 32.

No other methods seem to work, I went into the registry but I can't find the Manager to Logitec so I guess that that is correctly uninstalled.

Im stuck help would be appreciated.

Hello

1. are you able to use the webcam in other messengers or applications?

This problem occurs when one of the following conditions is true:
a. you have previously installed a Logitech Webcam.
b. the LifeCam drivers are not well established.

Have you tried the suggestions in the article below?
I would ask you to try the methods listed in the article below and check if it works.

  • Microsoft LifeCam VX 3000"does not work"

    I have upgraded to windows 7 and I'm trying to re - install my LifeCam VX-3000 but wen I do, I get a message indicating the cam "does not work" and "the program will close." I installed the drivers supplied by microsoft (LifeCam 3.2) and nothing. I even tried to re - install disk but it says that it was not compatible with windows 7 (it was LifeCam 1.4). So now I have a webcam that I can't use yet is supposed to be compatible with Windows 7.

    So I just bought the camera and when I plug it in, it lights up but when I use it in Skype or take a photo, it is not detected and it will not show the unit.
