I cant get imagemixer to work on windows 8.1 says it cant find driver

I will be your friend!
I have no friends,,,
It should work with windows 8!

Hello

Currently, there are no Windows 8 drivers fo rthe QHM500-8LM PC camera (16 Mega pixels).

I would suggest downloading the drivers from the company web site:

http://www.qhmpl.com/Download-Drivers.html

....and save them to the hard drive. Once saved, right click the driver and choose PROPERTIES. From the new window, click the COMPATIBILITY tab at the top. In the COMPATIBILITY MODE section of the screen, enable this and choose the OS that the driver is listed to work with.

For example, if you download the Windows XP driver, set the COMPATIBILITY MODE to Windows XP Service Pack 3. If you download the Windows Vista driver, choose that OS.

Until a specific driver is created for this hardware, this will be the only way to get it to work with Windows 8.

• Drivers:
• The drivers needed to connect your Sony camcorder to a computer and transfer files are already included in the operating system.
• Not Supported:
• The USB streaming feature is not supported with the Windows 7 operating system.
• The Windows 7 Starter edition is not supported.

IMAGEMIXER 3 ARE COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 7
IF U HAVE OLDER VERSION MAY BE ARE NOT COMPATIBLE . OR NEEDS TO INSTALL PLUG IN OR SOME UPDATE

hello.
this may work with your windows 7 install.
have you seen this page?

http://support.sony-europe.com/dime/downloads/downloads.aspx?site=odw_en_GB&f=ppckg_uninstll

and under "overview features" it says:
"Picture Package" and "ImageMixer Ver.1.5" supplied with Cyber-shot or Handycam are not compatible with Windows Vista. For users who have accidentally installed these software into Windows Vista, we are offering "Picture Package Uninstaller" as the uninstallation tool."

again this MIGHT work with your windows 7 install.

also you might try the compatibility mode:
Right click the shortcut you use to start the program and select the compatibility tab for you options.there.

It's possible the software is not Vista-compatible.

I had exactly the same problem. I was using a USB cable, as I had done with Windows XP. However, when I tried using a DV cable instead it worked no problem at all, and i was able to use Windows Movie Maker, so no need to install ImageMixer. Hope this helps. Tony

wrong connection! you must use firewire to stream video and audio from your cam-make sure comp has connection-called 1394-on cam it's called dv and get proper cable and you will be fine-usb only for pics

Hi,

I have the same problem; however there is a workaraound. If you plug your camcorder in to your usb drive and power on so that the Vista Plug 'n' Play can automatically install a driver for using as an external drive (bit like a usb stick)

When you go to my computer you will see an extra drive explore and see no files!

Well in the camcorder itself, there is a function to finalise the disc, perform this action and you should be able to see the files including the dvd menu files on the disc in my computer.

Drag and Drop to your computer. And use with what ever Software you want to.

This could also depend on the recording format you have set in the camcorder.

Hope this works for all.
