logitech piece of...

I got this silly lil Logitec Quickcam Express I pulled outta the closet, I want to get it working again.

Heres the problem everytime I plug it in it sais "Device not recognized" on the taskbar in a winbloze annoying lil popup.....i really hate win xp......

Any suggestions would be appreciated...I have tried this cam on 2 different PC's both running xp sp2 also tried it on one with sp1. It used to work dunno why it does not anymore

 

Its not windows xp's fault or problem for that matter, that quick cam must be made for w95/98, if it isn't, then you need to download the proper drivers for windows xp through logitech, assuming they still support the product.

 

Well I went to logitech site and got the driver from there for it...maybe it was made for 98? That would make sense I will look around for an xp patch if one exists.

 

Not too sure if it helps, but usually Logitech requires us to install the driver and then plug the cam in.
I had to do that to install my communicate stx the other day.

 

K, I will try that.

 

Ty for the idea but that did not work, I am also trying Logitech forums on this issue. Note that this is not an isolated problem if you look around google other have it too. Maybe logitech just made ther cams to break so you would buy new ones lol.

 

Yes thats it, i am sure Logitech predicated windows xp and said lets make our cameras not work under a future os, sure thats it.

 

Check this site out they have a driver for it that might work.

I'm not sure if that was sarcastic, but there are plenty of devices that do not have driver support in XP and will not work, including some logitech quick-cams

According to the above windows xp has a built in driver for cam...that is what Logitech told me....now I am more confused as to why its an unknown device and windows tells me its not recognized...Morpheus I will try what you just suggested.

 

I have previously tried that driver ty for the comments though I appreciate it, any other suggestions? (besides maken the cam go weee across the room and buying a new one lol)
