Hello guys,

I just follow the explanations of Dragonwight and... I got a black screen on Skype.
=> I go to the Skype options panel / video / webcam parameters and I reduce the USB bandwith to the minimum (default is max). And... it works !!!
If I put the bandwith somewhere in the middle, video crash... But it could come from my computer because it is quite old.

I hope it will help !

If its the VideoCam Eye from Genius you have then the V2 driver fro
there website does NOT work on Vista or Windows 7 its only designed fo
XP. You will get the blank screen in msn etc if you use this driver. Th
driver you need Vista and Windows 7 will download for you. Strangely th
driver is a Trust driver. The Trust 14823 driver will allow your Geniu
Videocam eye web cam to work in Vista and Windows 7. In Vista uninstal
any drivers you have installed for it and then do an automatic searc
for the driver, Vista will find the correct driver and install it. I
its Windows 7 RC1 your using or earlier you will need to run Window
Update make sure the cam is installed first with the old driver from th
Genius website the update manager will then offer you a number o
optional updates one of those updates is the Trust 14823 driver tick i
and it will automatically download and update your old driver. I hav
this web cam and it works perfectly in Vista and Windows 7

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.

Dear Dragonwight,

I have windows 7 and tried your procedure. It does not work. WIndows
update gets a different driver (Sonix).

Do you have the files that work? If you send them to me I would really
appreciate it.

Thanks.

Why don't educate them instead writing useless stuff you have just done.

Make use of your small penis as much as you can before depression catches with you.

Tom Willet with serious bout of depression doesn't like your post.


He has a very small penis and he doesn't know what to do with it.
