I've got 4 webcams on my network, 3 x Mikomi (Argos special) and 1 x from
Vimicro Corp. The Mikomi's I can't get working, but the other one which I
paid £10 for at a computer fair (fairs.co.uk) works fine.
What did you do to make it work? I can't get my Intel webcam to work, even
though the drivers are installed and it is listed in device manager as
working.
I have a really old USB Logitech webcam, and after installing the driver for
it, it does work. However it does not have the same functionality that it
has in Windows XP. For instance, in XP, I can use it to take still pictures
via Explorer. Vista Beta 2 will not let me do that. In XP I could import
into Photoshop a still image straight from the webcam via TWAIN or WIA.
The only way I even know the webcam does in fact work in Vista Beta 2 is
that it works fine with Windows Live Messenger.
Perhaps the Logitech works better than the Intel webcam. Mine is pretty old
so even though MS Vista installs the drivers, they are the same old drivers I
used in WinXP (where they worked fine). They defintitely don't work in
Vista. If anyone has that webcam (the CS331) working in Vista, please
respond and let me know. Thanks!
Yes, I did try that method, and the drivers installed just as they did when
Vista automatically installed them. The problem is, the drivers don't work,
even though the OS says they are installed and working correctly. I've
uninstalled them, reinstalled them, asked Vista to find current drivers, etc.
The only drivers available (and the ones that Vista installs) are dated
2001. It's no wonder they don't work!
