Using a MS lifecam vx-1000. used to work perfectly on windows xp but not so on 7 ultimate.Tried installing new drivers but the same problem. getting this pop-up which says 'USB device not recognized,one of the devices has malfunctioned' and getting a code 43 error on the driver details saying 'Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)'.
Known problem, that might be fixed by a cold start. switch off your PC or laptop completely. even pull the power lead from the wall, (in laptop remove power supply and battery once switched off) wait a few minutes and power up and start your machine. I hope this was helpful

SOURCE: drivers for lifecam VX-1000 for MS server 2003
Hello,
I dont dont know if there are any driver for your lifecam to operate on MS server 2003, but since windows 2003 is the server variant of windows XP you can always try those drivers. The drivers can be found at this page:
Microsoft Hardware Drivers
Hope This helps

These camera seem to be delicate. Call Microsoft support number that is on the documentation and they will send you another one. I did this and the replacement VX-3000 works perfectly.

Before you can use your webcam in any chat program you have to configure it to that program
Test your webcam here to make sure it broadcasts ok - Hit 'Allow' in the top window and check your cam in the left hand panel.

CONFIGURE TO SKYPE
Connect webcam
Its good practice to disconnect and re-connect your webcam before you start (To reboot the webcam software) - if you have been using it elsewhere the SKYPE software may have difficulty in locating it, even if you exited the previous program correctly.
The reason being, the webcam software can remain hooked-up to a program and needs to be rebooted.
Mine, I just unplug it from the USB and plug it back in to reboot the software.
If yours is integral with the computer you will have to re-start the computer, use a keyboard shortcut or disable / enable the webcam from the Device Manager.
Start Skype.
On the 'Tools' menu, click 'Options'.
In the navigation pane of the Skype 'Options' window, click 'Audio Settings'
Run down the list setting your defaults
Select your webcam as the default microphone.
Make a free test call
Click 'Save'
In the navigation pane of the Skype Options window, click Video Settings.
This will launch your webcam
Adjust quality of picture in 'Settings'
Check the correct webcam is shown as default
Click Save
Test your webcam by making a Skype test call.
