Live cam voice & msn messenger

I bought creative live cam voice and I cannot get it to work with WINDOWS LIVE MESSENGER as it always crashes and gives the error message "the program has stopped working". Im using vista 64 bit and all the latest drivers.
I did get it working for a short while with MSN 7.5 but microsoft now prevent that version being used and when you try and install it windows insists on downloading live messenger instead.
Help please

HELLO CREATIVE!!!
CAN YOU MAKE THIS CAMERA USEFUL?
NEED NEW DRIVER!

  • Live Cam Voice requires restart after system sleep under Vista

    I have attached my Live Cam Voice to my brandnew Vaio Notebook which runs Windows Vista Home Premium and installed the latest drivers from the Creative website. The cam works fine, until I put the laptop to sleep mode and waking it up again. After waking the PC up, the cam is not recognized anymore and I need to restart the computer.
    Anybody experienced similar problems and (hopefully) has a solution? Thx.

    Did you ever solve this problem? I have a similar problem on my desk top running Vista Home. I couldn't get the Vista driver (download from this wesite) to load so resorted to trying the XP dri've. This seemed to work until Vista put the machine into "Sleep" mode. After coming out of Sleep mode I eith have to restart the computer or disconnect and reconnect the webcam.

  • Live cam voice ......errr Help please

    HI all,
    I wish i never uninstalled my web cam....never had it working since.
    I;ll put you all in the picture....Dell, Win XP Pro, SP3, and trying to install Live cam voice.....
    Unfortuantely i think i have misalid !! the main CD it came with.
    I have installed the drivers ( the most up to date ones 1.02.08.0710 ) and application package on the creative web site for XP.
    The application seems to freeze, the web cam works, but when it tries to install the drivers, it halts for ages on the wdmaud.drv to c:\windows\system32.....is trying to install that driver section for over an hour now, if i disconnect the usb end ( which i will do now, it says its installed ok and finished ) but not not recognise the audio section. It shows up ok and fine on the video web cam, and also as i mention above the application seems to freeze adhock.
    Advice given from ireland on the phone,
    1) try tips from website ....like shut down anti virus and firewall etc ...done that no use !
    2) uninstall, install the files from the CD
    3) uninstall.... install from the web app and drivers ( which i have already done )
    4) try from another PC...i have not got another PC!!!!!
    Does anybody have any other tips...please help

    Yeah, I hear ya! There is such a tremendous delay between sound and video that it looks like a bad kung-fu dub :womansad: I bought 5 of them for may office and they are horribly poorly synched. What's up?

  • Creative live cam voice help please

    Help please,
    We are using the "live cam voice" model, with our computer (Vista 32bit), that appears to work OK, but after a few minutes we get the BSOD! We have tried un installing and re-installing drivers without any effect.Has anyone had this problem and if so how did you fix it.
    Regards,
    Arthur

    Thanks for your response. I have tried 3 ports so far, all with the same outcome. One of my sons had it happen to him on another computer (XP SP2) using this webcam . As to programmes open at the same time, I am not computer literate and have no idea what programmes were running on each occasion.We use the webcam for Skype and apart from that I may also have IE open and perhaps Outlook Express. Over and above those CS4 sometimes.
    If I cannot resolve this, can any one suggest another webcam please.
    Regards,
    Arthur

  • Live Cam Voice on HP DV8305 -- Video image very slow

    I installed Live! Cam Voice on my HP DV8305 succussfully, it works, but the video image is very slow. it needs about 30sec to capture a frame, sometime just stucked. I changed the Display Adaptive Driver, used differrent USB IF, checked my CPU and Memery usage, my HD space, use differrent IM -- skype, MSN, .... Any one can help?

    As further information, the issue seems to be with the exposure setting. When I turn auto exposure off, then set exposure down as low as it will go, the picture darkens, but the frame rate goes up. I don't have this problem with my Logitech QuickCam Orbit -- I'm not sure if the problem is with the firmware, or if the CMOS sensor in the Live! Cam Voice is just smaller.

  • Live Cam Voice OR wireless connection; not both

    My new Live! Cam Voice blocks my wireless Internet connection. The Webcam works fine for taking photos and making little videos. But if I'm online, and plug the Webcam into a USB port, my connection is cut and I cannot restore it. Unplug the Webcam and sometimes the connection comes back, or if not I have to restart my computer, and it comes back then.
    A previous Logitech Webcam worked perfectly.
    Any ideas?
    K

    Below was copied from a post by: cjasonwilson on this forum and Worked on my live!cam voice product.
    ***Note***
    When I followed the direction on this I found only:
    LowerFilters value inthe file - I deleted that and all is well in wonder land!
    Thanks to Cjasonwilson for some great info, the only thing to work after 3 calls to creative, gatway and one of my buddies dack in FL. Thanks Again!
    I found a fix that worked for me and I hope it works for anyone else experiencing the same issue. I had to Manually delete the UpperFilters and LowerFilters registry values.
    To Manually delete the UpperFilters and LowerFilters registry values, follow these steps:
    1. Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
    START > RUN > (Type) REGEDIT (and hit ENTER)
    2. Locate the UpperFilters and LowerFilters value under the following key in the registry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{6BDDFC6-80F-D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}
    3. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
    NEXT: I went to my Device Manager in Windows XP > IMAGING DEVICES > CREATIVE WEBCAM LIVE! ULTRA then right mouseclicked and chose DISABLE. I Then Right mouse clicked again and chose ENABLE. Then Wallah! My webcam led cam on and the darn thing started working again.
    HOW I DISCOVERED WHAT TO DO
    I came across a link to a similar problem regarding a CD-Rom Driver install issue returning Error Code 9. This was the same error code that I recieved when trying to re-install my webcam drivers. So I poked around the registry near a similar path (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Class\) as mentioned in the article found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/34060/EN-US/ until I ran across an entry that said Imaging Devices in it.

  • Live!cam Voice bad sound quality

    I bought a live cam voice two days ago and have had to get it exchanged already due to the appalling sound and picture quality. The original cam would not allow over 640x480 resolution for video, the picture was dark and muddy, the exposure control did not work at all and the sound was dreadful. The exchange cam works perfectly ie 280x960 resolution, picture bright and clear, exposure works fine however the sound is no better. I have to use my headset/microphone for anybody to hear me on skype and if I use it for video capture the sound is distant, dull and overlaid by a constant succession of clicks and pops.
    This is what people report hearing when I talk to them online. The camera is sold as having "unrivalled audio and video fidelity".Video yes (after exchange) audio definately not. I hope I will not have to get the second cam exchanged as if I do I will not be walking out with a Creative product. I have thoroughly checked my settings and carefully read the instructions and forum regarding this and have found no resolve. Anybody out there with the same issue?

    I bought the Live! Cam Voice a few days ago and have been suffering from sound problems too when recording. The sound distortion is almost electrical/mechanical in nature but disappears when the video auto-balances and becomes brighter ?!?! IT also disappeared when connected via a USB . hub, although the system then griped that the port wasn't sufficiently fast.
    I would consider swapping my main USB cable for the gold plated variety, to ensure no signals are encroaching on the port, but this may be overkill.
    These findings would suggest a software issue rather than hardware.
    Note. Do not install the voice driver update from Aug 2006, seems to make things noticeably worse!

  • Live! Cam Voice + Windows 2000 - No video input

    Hi all,
    Since purchasing my Live! Cam Voice, I've always used it with a Windows XP Home machine. Recently, though, I tried to use it with a laptop running Windows 2000 Professional. The installation process encounters no problems and applications like MSN Messenger detect the cam without any difficulty. However, when *any* application attempts to view video from the camera, nothing is returned but darkness (I have lights on :-P) - it's as though it's simply not been switched on. Anyone got any ideas for dealing with this?
    Mike
    If anyone's interested, the laptop's spec is . . .
    Model - Compaq Armada M700 (USB2 connectivity provided via PCMCIA card)
    CPU - Intel P3 650Mhz
    Memory - 92MB
    HD - 6GB
    Not sure about anymore details of the spec (graphics accelerator, etc) - I guess Googling for the model would give more details.

    I am having the same problem. I am using windows Vista and have tried?recording sound in other applications and it works fine, just not when trying to record in LIVE! cam. I jbought this cam 2 months ago and just now find out it does not work when I need it the most. I am due to give a video presentation in two weeks and will probably have to buy a new cam, what a dissapointment!

  • Live! Cam Voice - Microphone compatibility w/ Windows Vista Ultimate

    I recently got the Live! Cam Voice for my computer with Windows Vista Ultimate. And for some reason the built in microphone won't work at all - even the voice recorder, the Yahoo! Messenger in which it was built for and Windows Live Messenger. However the actual webcam works fine. Is there anyway to get the microphone to be compatible with Ultimate?

  • Using Voice and Vedio messaging on MSN Messenger

    hi,
    how can i talk and have vedio conference with someone on MSN messenger from my MSN messenger on Powerbook ( possibly using built in mic )

    Hey
    To cut a long story short, you can't. This has been a particular gripe now for some time, Microsoft have put off adding either voice or video to Messenger for Mac despite the PC version having had it for years. There are a number of options and work arounds available to achieve the same outcome however.
    1. If you want to stay with MSN, you can download a third party client called Mercury Messenger, best place to get it is www.versiotracker.com. This will give you acceptable video but, alas, no voice.
    2. To get sound, the best option at the moment is going to be a VOIP service such as skype, you could use that in addition to Mercury to give you both voice and video.
    3. The best option is definitely going to be iChat AV if you have a firewire cam (isight for example). It will give you voice and video, it just means trying to convince your friends to swith over to AOL Instant Messenger if they're using PCs. If you have a USB cam, this wont work without a piece of software called ichatUSBcam which you can get from the same site as above. It does cost money though, but you get a trial period to see if it works.
    4. If you can hold on a bit longer, there is another option coming up, Skype are working on adding video for Mac and that would give you an option similar to iChat but without requiring a firewire cam.
    Hope that's of some help to you.
