416521 2005-12-29 23:16:00 I need some help. I just bought a NexxTech 4 in 1 Camera. It says, Digital Camera, Video Camera, Web Camera and USB Mass Storage. The catologue number is: 2512928

It says It is a webcam, but when I go on MSN and click on webcam settings, it says your computer does not detect a webcam. I hooked it up with the USB cable and put the mode on PC. I need help.

Thanks.

416522 2005-12-29 23:24:00 What version of Windows is installed Caroline?

And, I take it you've installed the drivers for it?

If it came with a cd with drivers on it?

416526 2005-12-30 15:05:00 I installed everything that it came with on the cd, I have Windows XP and when I go on msn, it says that it can't detect a web cam. caroline08 (9497)
416527 2005-12-30 15:19:00 Ok, Sorry again but I think I found the problem. I just need some help. At the bottom of my screen a bubble comes up and it says "Hardware not found" so I click it and install the "New Hardware" thing. But then a message comes up and it says, "Problems can ocure right after, or later on in the futur. Do you want to continue with the installation" and it also says something about a windows test or something. caroline08 (9497)
416528 2005-12-30 21:28:00 Tends to indicate that its not compatable with XP (I have a webcam here that also will not work with XP, its not an uncommon issue)

I can find nothing on Google that suggests its compatable with XP either.

Nexxtech is just a rebrand, I believe. If you could find the real maker its possible that a driver that will work better may exist, but its likely to be somewhat troublesome at best I suspect, even if one is available.

416529 2005-12-30 23:01:00 Oh ok thank you. It doesn't matter that much, it's mostly just a digital camera, it just says on the box that it would be a web camera. Thanks. :) caroline08 (9497)
