Genius WebCam Messenger don't work with Windows Vista 32

Hi there,

Windows detected the webcam, instaled the drivers, but when I try to use
no image is show. I tried to use in MSN, Skype and the native image capture
software. Nothing.

Someone knows anything about this?

Joubert,

1) Go to the deloper site & download the correct Vista drivers

http://download.geniusnet.com.tw/webcam/

The bottom one in the list is your webcam. Its 3.26 MB

2) Go to the Vista newsgroup & ask them

Note:

When I was beta testing Vista there were no drivers for Logitech cams then &
they are a named product unlike Genius

Adi,

I went to the developers site:

http://www.geniusnet.com.tw

Click on ENGLISH at the top
Click ON SUPPORT & choose DRIVERS
Choose WEBCAM from the top list
Choose VCAM MESSENGER from the second list

Now choose WINDOWS VISTA & click the download link which will open a new window

Here is the driver link it takes me too:

http://download.geniusnet.com.tw/web...essenger_V.zip

It says V before zip so I guess that means VISTA

Info on that popup window:

Product Model VideoCAM Messenger
OS Windows Vista
Version
File Size 3.26MB
Release Date 2007/05/04
File Name VCMessenger_V.zip
Description Driver for Windows Vista 32bit


I hope this helps & you get it resolved. Please post back

Hey Newbie,
well sorry man, I ve already tried the procedure that u ve
mentioned several times, everything goes on as expected, but the when the
amcap application window is opened, it just shows a blank screen. My system
is intsalled with W. Vista Home Basic x32 with pre installed DirectX 10.
The original installation cd used to upload the driver was
corrupt and cudn't be uninstalled,hence had to perform system restore.
Suspect that it hasn't helped and some files may still exisist from
previously.
Hope u cud suggest how to locate and remove those files.
Brgds.
