Genius WebCam Messenger don't work with Windows Vista 32

[Guest Joubert Vasconcelos]

Hi there,

 

Windows detected the webcam, instaled the drivers, but when I try to use

no image is show. I tried to use in MSN, Skype and the native image capture

software. Nothing.

 

Someone knows anything about this?

Joubert,

 

1) Go to the deloper site & download the correct Vista drivers

 

http://download.geniusnet.com.tw/webcam/

 

The bottom one in the list is your webcam. Its 3.26 MB

2) Go to the Vista newsgroup & ask them

 

Hardware & Devices:

General:

Note:

 

When I was beta testing Vista there were no drivers for Logitech cams then &

they are a named product unlike Genius

Adi,

 

I went to the developers site:

 

http://www.geniusnet.com.tw

 

Click on ENGLISH at the top

Click ON SUPPORT & choose DRIVERS

Choose WEBCAM from the top list

Choose VCAM MESSENGER from the second list

 

Now choose WINDOWS VISTA & click the download link which will open a new window

 

Here is the driver link it takes me too:

 

http://download.geniusnet.com.tw/webcam/VCMessenger_V.zip

 

It says V before zip so I guess that means VISTA

 

Info on that popup window:

 

Product Model VideoCAM Messenger

OS Windows Vista

Version

File Size 3.26MB

Release Date 2007/05/04

File Name VCMessenger_V.zip

Description Driver for Windows Vista 32bit

 

 

I hope this helps & you get it resolved. Please post back

Hey Newbie,

well sorry man, I ve already tried the procedure that u ve

mentioned several times, everything goes on as expected, but the when the

amcap application window is opened, it just shows a blank screen. My system

is intsalled with W. Vista Home Basic x32 with pre installed DirectX 10.

The original installation cd used to upload the driver was

corrupt and cudn't be uninstalled,hence had to perform system restore.

Suspect that it hasn't helped and some files may still exisist from

previously.

Hope u cud suggest how to locate and remove those files.

Brgds.
