Hello guys,



I just follow the explanations of Dragonwight and... I got a black screen on Skype.

=> I go to the Skype options panel / video / webcam parameters and I reduce the USB bandwith to the minimum (default is max). And... it works !!!

If I put the bandwith somewhere in the middle, video crash... But it could come from my computer because it is quite old.



I hope it will help !

If its the VideoCam Eye from Genius you have then the V2 driver from

there website does NOT work on Vista or Windows 7 its only designed for

XP. You will get the blank screen in msn etc if you use this driver. The

driver you need Vista and Windows 7 will download for you. Strangely the

driver is a Trust driver. The Trust 14823 driver will allow your Genius

Videocam eye web cam to work in Vista and Windows 7. In Vista uninstall

any drivers you have installed for it and then do an automatic search

for the driver, Vista will find the correct driver and install it. If

its Windows 7 RC1 your using or earlier you will need to run Windows

Update make sure the cam is installed first with the old driver from the

Genius website the update manager will then offer you a number of

optional updates one of those updates is the Trust 14823 driver tick it

and it will automatically download and update your old driver. I have

this web cam and it works perfectly in Vista and Windows 7.

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.

Why don't educate them instead writing useless stuff you have just done.



Make use of your small penis as much as you can before depression catches with you.

Please re-post your problems using this link:







Tom Willet with serious bout of depression doesn't like your post.
