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

  • My Macbook Pro gives me a message saying: external drive is not readable by this computer. But he worked Twitter.com. What can I do?

    I tried to move my music and my pictures of my Macbook Pro 2012 to other Macbook Pro 2009, but the older one is absolutely remained stuck. So I unplugged. Now, it will not be read by Macs, and give me a message, the external drive is not readable by this computer. Both are running on the same iTunes updated and Maverick. What can I do to recover thousands of photos and CD?

    The disc in particular is either corrupted or has failed.   If you don't have a backup, you find yourself working with a data recovery service, which will not come cheap, and they don't guarantee any results - to try to shoot everything that is left behind.   Reformatting the drive - if it has corrupted and not failed - could bring the disk itself to the utility, but that won't help with any data on the disk.

    RTA,

    Thank you very much for your answers. As you suggest, I went to the help/updates and found that 3 points were scored update, Manager, 13 Photoshop and first elements 13 elements. On a hunch, instead uncheck one of them, I thought I'd see what would happen to let update all 3. It took a while, but, long story short, stopped the happy Vangogh and everything seems fine. Thank you for your messages, much appreciated.    Walt Maken

    The problem may occur if some of the components of the update are corrupt.

  • I have version 3.6.23 on a desktip PC. When I "check for updates", I get a message that there are no updates available. What version should I do and how do I get it?

    I tried to use a tool of shmetsy.com for Etsy. I couldn't use it because of my version of Firefox - 3.6.23
    I went 'On Mozilla Firefox' to check the updates and got the message "there is no update available"

    I don't know what versions of Firefox work with Shmetsy. They have a page system requirements? It is not in the very short FAQ...

    You have later in the line of 3.6.

    If you want Firefox 7, go to http://www.mozilla.org/firefox to get the installation program.

    Normally, the major updates go without a hitch, but just in case, I recommend to backup your Firefox settings to cover you in the rare case that something is not going. See your backup information. (You can copy your profile folder Firefox together somewhere outside the Mozilla folder).

  • I'm trying to upgrade to firefox 4.0 on my Mac with 10.6.6. I get the message that there are already?

    After downloading 4.0 and dragging to the applications, I get the following message "" firefox.app already exists at this place... you want to replace it with the older you move "I do?" Seems I want to replace it with the most recent that I just downloaded. Also worth version 4.0 beta changing to as there seems to be a lot of problems on the forum?

    4.0 is older than 3.6.16 days - replace if you want 4.0, or simply stick with 3.6.16 for awhile longer.

    No real in itself, just problem that users need to learn more about some new or changed features that come with 4.0.

  • that means xml, when I try to set up an analysis of the image years ago, I get the message that there are on this scan xml elements and if I save it, elments of xml will be cleared. What is

    When I bring up some old pictures on my computer, it comes like a scan, when I opened the scan he says he has xml elements, which, if I save it, the xml elements will be deleted, what are xml elements

    The normal definition of xml is the Extensible Markup Language and is the most used in the web development. There is no logical reason why scans contain xml in their breast.

    All files have an extension that is used by Windows to identify what program to use to open the file. Word uses .doc or .docx format, Excel .xls or .xlsx, Adobe uses .pdf etc.

    Right-click on one of the files and select Properties, in the general tab, it displays the type of file and its extension.

    You are referring to 'initials pvt' but pvt isn't a common file extension and is used by a couple of applications, but have nothing to do with analysis or graphics.

    Up to what you did what in fact do a copy files (copy the directory as a whole) and let the originals intact.

    Although Word works with graphics files which is not normally the native program to use, can you explain the steps that you use to open the files.
