You will need to install the drivers provided by Creative for your webcam. Assuming you no longer have the CD that came with the device, you must install the drivers from Creative:

Without your exact web cam and operating system, I can't locate the precise drivers for you. Also, with the web cam being 6 or 7 years old, depending on the model and again your operating system, it may or may not be compatible with your computer, if you have upgraded since last using it.

Webcam won't work even though i have installed program with cd

Hi Jenniferlinn, desperate mom:)

I agree with them, sometimes things lika that happens, and the latest bid windows update, the SP3, messed up a lot of computers.

I still dont understand why you talking to KODAK when you have an VIBRA CAM, vibra cam is a creative cam, KODAK has nothing to do with that cam as far as i know.
I took the liberty and looked on creative for your cam and there are none updates for that model, its the drivers on the cd you have that you shall use. This is what creative syas on their site for the Vibra Cam:

"Cameras which do not link to drivers or applications currently do not have an update available on the download site. Check the installation CD supplied with the camera for operating systems drivers and applications available"

So my friend and desparate mom, dont talk to KODAK anymore, thats waste of time, if you need to talk to a tecnitian, talk to the people on creative, bur im surre they will give you the same answer as i did.

If you dont mind, i suggest you buy a new cam, they are cheap and they are up to date so to say. Your children will be happyer whit a new cam that gives them a better resolution, a better oicture and more easy to handle then that old one you have.


I wish you all luck desprate mom:)
Nic

If you neer further help, dont hesitate, just ask me and i will do my best to help you

Hi,

It is probable there is a camera hardware failure for the Live Cam.
  1. Try uninstall the drivers
  2. Restart computer.
  3. Install CD Drivers FIRST!
  4. Then plug in the camera.
  5. If still hangs, check with Creative in your country for warranty issues.
