I am using the LifeCam HD-6000 with a visual Basic program. (I am doing research for the Open University on road surfaces). I had hoped to be able to take advantage of the TrueColor software... is it possible to invoke the "dashboard" seperately from the main LifeCam program? Then I could adjust the settings to get maximum benefit from the webcam. Thanks.

You can download the driver here :- http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/236296/microsoft-lifecam-nx-6000-vx-1000-vx-3000-vx-6000-driver-1.21-windows-xp-free-download.html
the camera has a built in microphone,so after a proper installation you should have the video and mic funtioning.
but in your case, the cam doesn't work, so you have to try first uninstall the driver >> unplug the camera USB port >> then make a restart >> plud the camera back into the usb >> and install the drivers again.

SOURCE: Microsoft lifecam VX-6000 - no Video

your cam has to be setup with the messaging programs have you tried that
and does your cam show in device manager

SOURCE: I cannot adjust the audio on lifecam vx 3000.

Normal 0 See section C. Windows Live Messenger in the info below to setup the Audio & Video.
Web Camera’s have to be setup on the program they are to be used with. Just installing the camera on your computer does not set it up to broadcast on messengers or Skype.
Each program has Options that have to be setup in order for the Audio and Video to function properly.

A. Skype Setup:

After downloading and installing Skype (http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/download/skype/windows/beta/downloading/Bud )

1. Log on to SKYPE and do the following.
2. Go to Tools, then Options, and click on Audio Settings and set the Microphone and Speakers to the computer Audio Card.
3. Then click on the Video Settings.
4. The camera if Installed Properly will come up and show a video picture.
5. Then, on the bottom of the page click on Save.

1. After you start Windows Live Messenger, expand the view by clicking on the square on top left next to the red X.
2. Then on the Windows Live messenger window on the right side, click on “ “Show Menus.” And then click on “Show the Menu Bar”.
3. Next go to the Menu Bar on right side, click on “ “Action.”
4. Go to “TOOLS” and click “Audio and Video Setting” and follow the instructions.

SOURCE: Microsoft Lifecam / Using a different microphone

Im not sure I understood exactly the issue but the solutions are more than one ...
you may just uninstall the web cam ...and set the mic you want to use and after that reinstall the web cam ...and you have every chances to be installed and the external mic to remain in use..
or ...to use the mic from the external pink entry of the pc ...just select it from the sound driver ...options..
in your capture program you might also have the choice for which mic to use ....
in your yahoo messenger for example you have this choice on preferences /audio device....
you also may find on your control panel ...sound and audio device /audio../and for the sound recording audio device ...select the one you want...
good luck !
