    I've been working on this problem now for a couple of days and getting tired of this topic. I have had this camera working before now not . It works in my scanners and camera it works in Windows Live. But I just get a black screen when I try and use it. Or Coloured lines in it.
    I have all the up to date drivers, bios ,anti-virus free ,machine runs well.
    I have been to many forums to do research and have tried some of them but still no effect.
    I did find one website forum that explains my problem pretty close except for my computer doesn't say it can't detect camera.
    This is a big problem and I'm not the only one.
    I was hoping to find a registry fix but it does not apply to this problem.
    Is there anyone out there knowledgable about this fix....
    I think the problem has something to do with the usb supports and the lifecam software is getting duplicated or something a
    I know nothing about usb support driver ect. ect.

    Also found a forum that people said there was a conflict with tuners but I'm pretty sure I don't have any tuners. It could be some driver or conflicting with it but I shut everything down and tried it and still no.

    Hi

    Conflict with Tuners, please describe more on this, these tuners are they TV Video card type tuners? if so do you have a TV card in your PC?


    Try this though to see if the advice helps as its applicable to the VX6000 HERE

    No. I'm sorry I misinformed you I have XP PRO. No I do not have any tuners I do have an application called free tv. But it is not running. I have been doing some mor research on this topic and i believe it might have something to do with lifecam.exe.
