| 699653 | 2008-08-23 05:51:00 | I tried using my webcam today (our new tablet PC has a webcam, so we wanted to try it out). Problem is, there's no picture on my computer. It's just black. The webcam is a DSE one I bought before Vista came out, and when I try updating the driver, Vista deems it up to date. How do I get a picture from the webcam? |

| 699654 | 2008-08-23 05:56:00 | I would find out what the brand/model is, then go to the site Not use Vista / windowsupdate to update the driver What does it say in device manager for the cam? Does it say a name? |

| 699655 | 2008-08-23 06:11:00 | The DSE Cam is a pain in the butt - you need to install the video editing software thats on the CD to get a picture. Just installed the other night for a customer who also brought one from DSE, and it wasn't till the software went in that you even had any options to change any settings :mad: The drivers went in fine, but no other software. On the other side, I installed a genius cam and it installed the drivers & software. |

| 699656 | 2008-08-23 06:12:00 | In Device Manager, it says "D-Link CIF Webcam". I guess I have to install the software - if it likes Vista. |

| 699657 | 2008-08-23 06:13:00 | What are you using to see the picture?? Does its icon appear in computer, like in XP? So you can see a pic? |

| 699658 | 2008-08-23 06:15:00 | That was quick :eek: I'm trying to get the picture to appear in Windows Live Messenger. |

| 699659 | 2008-08-23 06:19:00 | There isnt something like a tuner in / on it as well is there?? As this is also a capture device, and most IM programs will set this as the default device, until you change it Does its icon appear in computer? If it does, does a pic appear? |

| 699660 | 2008-08-23 06:27:00 | Its icon doesn't appear in Computer. I don't think it has a tuner - only one webcam shows up in WLM. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 699661 | 2008-08-23 06:30:00 | WHAT version of the drivers are installed for the cam under device manager? 4.0.0.15? There must be a set of 3 letters on it somewhere. What are they? |
Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 699662 | 2008-08-23 06:32:00 | It's version 4.5.0.2. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
