743834 2009-02-01 08:37:00 Hi Guys,

I have a dse webcam (www.dse.co.nz) and have had it for a while and today decided to crank it out and get in touch with some rellies in Aussie. I installed driver from the website, and did everything the pdf told me to do but cant seem to get the bloody thing going, microphone works fine, skype tells me I have no cam connected but still allows me to configure the mircophone that is part of the webcam, anyone got any ideas? running winxp

cheers

Mik

1) A different USB port?
2) A different computer?
3) A generic driver for webcam?

Cheers :)

In the software that comes with the DSE Cam there should have been a Video Program called Arcsoft VideoImpression - that's one way of testing the CAM. BUT its on CD, and as far as I know not down loadable.

There is bound to be some other Cam /editing software about that will do the same. The drivers from DSE site are only to run the CAM, not to actually allow capture/viewing.

Does it show an icon here, and does it show a pic, if you double click on it?

Strange, I uninstalled it again, reinstalled it and then plugged it into a different usb and still no go
