Hi All
I hope someone can help me here.
I recently had XP pro breakdown on me so I performed a clean install, this went fine except the webcam I had working before the breakdown (cheap PC Line model) wouldn't stay installed. By this I mean it would install then when I switched the PC off and back on again it would be uninstalled!
I decided to upgrade my XP and finally installed SP2 and all other updates, but the problem remained so I put it down to the camera. I have now purchased a Philips DMVC 1300k but the same problems remain.
It seems to be OK when the PC is restarted, it also seems ok if I leave the installation disk in the machine. I have been to the Philips site and downloaded their most up to date drivers with no luck.
I was going to go to their support for ideas but as the problem has been repeated with two cams now I have to think it's a problem with my machine.
Can anyone give me a hand here?
