Software Bugs

Some other reviews here had similar problems to mine. Please don't think we are bad mouthing Microsoft.The problems are ligit. Seems to only be an issue if you have other USB devices (like most of us). Bottom line the camera would not work. If you check device manager and have an error 19,then that is the same as me.MS's website is no help.A Google search and 8 hours later I got it to work,but I bought this beacuse I thought MS would at least have the inside track on software issues.By the way,...

Software and installation issues, buyer beware

My family and I just relocated 3 states away from our extended family and wanted to get a good webcam to keep intouch with everyone and let our 2 year old see his grandmother once and a while.When I saw the Microsoft LifeCam at Target stores and that it was compatible with Windows Live I thought it would be worth the $100 price tag to be able to keep in touch with family.I purchased the software and started the installation process on my computer.Just so you know,my system is running a pentium 4...

Software issues

Dont microsoft ever send their software thru Quality Assurance checking? They asked me to install a windows update (KB something or the other) saying that it prevented the software from running at 100% CPU usage. Lo and behold, it still gets stuck!! Task Manager dutifully reports that it is after all consuming all resources....

Crappy software, crappy support

I thought I'd take a chance on this cam since- as one other reviewer stated- it SHOULD be compatible with Window XP. I'm running Win XP media center edition on a BRAND NEW Gateway 825 GM. 3400+ cpu, 1GB main memory. Essentially no other software installed and no other peripherals installed. Shouldn't be a problem, right? Wrong!I installed the software for this cam, downloaded and installed the Windows Live Messenger when promted by installation, followed all the prompts during installation and rebooted...
