| 99363 | 2002-11-18 05:50:00 | Hi. I bought the D-Link DSC-350 Digital Camera yesterday. It acts as both a WebCam and Digital Camera. It worked great when I installed it - but then when I upgraded the drivers from the dlink website. From then on whenever i went into NetMeeting or any other WebCam-mode software it gives me a nasty blue screen of death and prompty restarts windows. Taking pictures is awesome, its just its WebCam drivers that are playing up. Anybody know how to fix this? Thanks. |

| 99366 | 2002-11-18 07:44:00 | Mikee, If worked previously were you not able to do a System restore back to the point BEFORE the updated drivers trouble? Otherwise can you deinstall all the camera software and reinstall it? . Babe . |

| 99367 | 2002-11-18 08:02:00 | Good thinking, but, I've allready tired both of those ideas . You wouldn't believe how many times I have tired uninstalling software and/or drivers to solve the problem . However, the reason system restore didn't work is because every time I have tired it (and I have tried multiple restore dates) it goes throughout all its processes and then when it reloads windows again it informs me that it was unsuccessful . Not sure how to solve that; there is not WindowsUpdate for it either . As for uninstalling the drivers and/or software: I think it doesn't work because when I origionally installed them, and every time I have installed new versions, it has changed the C:\Windows\System32 etc files and hasn't uninstalled them when I uninstall the software . Don't get the uninstaller wrong though - it does do a good job and get rid of all the stuff it installed - but unfortunetly it looks as though it didn't get rid of those few that are causing this problem . Well, thats my theory anyway . Thanks . |

| 99368 | 2002-11-18 11:13:00 | I use one of these Cameras on XP Home with the original driver. It protests when I install the driver but it works. As a web cam it is OK, but as a snap shot camera it is terrible. Very poor definition & erratic light &colour control. I have an "Aptec Smart Camera" which was half the price & is very good, exellent photos, has a flash & includes a 16meg card. |

| 99369 | 2002-11-20 08:56:00 | I know, i installed the camera on a family's PC also running WindowsXP Professional and it worked perfectly . I have recently installed Windows on a second partition, just for the Camera so I can install it with the origional drivers, and it gives me the same Blue Screen of Death . Any ideas? |
