Alternative to Webcam Center

I've seen about 5 threads with people asking where to download Webcam Center, none of which has been answered, except for one person claiming that Creative charges 5 for a replacement CD. Well no way in hell am I paying anything for the software that I need to use my webcam (which Logitech lets you download for free for their cams). Since obviously Creative doesn't care much about their PAYING customers it looks like we just have to resort to NOT BUYING CREATIVE PRODUCTS or using 3rd party Webcam software. That is if it exists... Does anyone out there know of any freeware webcam software I can use for recording videos and taking pictures? Thanks guys!

you WANT users to sync it from THEIR DESKTOPS... if you WERE to run it through the SERVER, all synchronizations would occur using the servers' OneDrive account (well, whatever account you'd configure the server to use)... when using it from the desktop,
all changes occur using the INDIVIDUAL'S account.
Also, OneDrive is not a BACKGROUND / SYSTEM SERVICE... it is an APPLICATION... so it ONLY runs when you are LOGGED IN.
As far as sync and SP... there are some file names that simply aren't allowed... & is a COMMON issue, but it's NOT VALID in files, since it's a special character in website addresses.
Here's the big thing in my opinion, though... how much do you REALLY need ALL of the files to be sync'ed to EACH USER's desktop?

  • Creative Livecam Vista IM - software problem (WebCam Center)

    Hello,
    I've just had my camera installed with all the software included. There's one problem - every time I open the WebCam Center, the program tries to install something called "Photo Gallery". However, it's impossible to install that, because some errors occur (2908).
    The only way to get the WebCam Center work is to cancel the installation, which is possible only just after the WebCam center launches.
    How can I get rid off this "Photo gallery" installation thing?
    Greetings!

    Sephiroth,
    Can you click on the details for the error report and post up what it says. If it reports something about Apple causing the problem then you could try updating your QuickTime to the latest version.

  • Creative NX Ultra and Creative WebCam Center.

    Hello. Just installed my Creative NX Ultra webcam, and it works good with msn etc, but when I run Creative WebCam Center I get this; "No supported Creative camera detected. Please plug in to continue." I have no idea what to do, I've tried reinstalling the webcam drivers and the webcam center, but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

    Hi JKM,
    I don't have the same issues as you do, but wanted to see if we have the same camera or not, maybe help each other out even.. I'm thinking that I bought my camera a couple of years ago, but I only had it hooked up and tried it once. At that time, it seemed like it worked fine, but now the video doesn't look that great and I'm even wondering if it is the right software! I have a seperate headset. But being as I've never turned it on again after that, I've had to reinstall and not 100% sure if there is an upgrade or not for the software. So what version software do you have?
    I have version 2.03.01 and it says PC-CAM Center for the NX ultra. I says Instant Live Video chats, but being as I'm not to sure yet how to use it, I am wonderng why it tells me to "save".. I would have thought that if your using it online, why would you save it?
    At anyrate.. if you or anyone else should see this, is there a higher version for the software?
    AND, I want some advice of what to buy for working online, I need a camera for this. Am I supposed to get a new headset to match?..
    I hope someone gets back to me soon, cause I've been advised to buy another brand and I really don't want to, being as Everything else on my computer is set up for sound using Creative labs.

  • Webcam Live! is fully installed...but webcam center isnt functioning...??

    i have installed the webcam live! software, and the hardware a few times now and every time i do it, restart my computer, and try to open up the webcam center to take a snapshot....webcam center loads...and after like 5 seconds it says something about an error and asks me to send an error report. When i close the error message, webcam center closes automatically and this happens every time...i've done the installation perfectly according to the instructions...it says there is a step when im supposed to click "continue anyway" but i havent had that come up at all. I install the software first, camera disconnected, then when i finish the software, it tells me to connect the cam, i do so, and it completes the installation. Yet, webcam center manages to keep giving me a headache every time i try to open it by freezing up and shutting down. i have a 2006 sony vaio top of the line computer so that shouldnt be the problem XP service pack 2 home edition. can you help please?

    Hi anybody with a creative instant webcam just use program Compatibility Wizard in Vista takes about 20 mins to load but runs Fine. Hope this helps Richard

  • How to...snapshot with delay using Webcam Center ?

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if I could take some snapshot with a certain delay using Webcam Center ?
    Meaning I click on the snapshot button and I got like 0 secs to move on before I got the screen.
    And if that's not possible using Webcam Center, would you know any other soft doing that ?
    Thanks for your time.

    I have done this in the past by using a command line version of putty called plink.exe
    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
    call plink.exe with the systemexec.vi using the command line parameters of any ssh commands

  • Webcam Center cant detect cam...

    I just recently purchased a Live! Cam Voice on saturday. I followed the direction as to installing the device and its software. When i open Webcam Center its telling me that it cannot detect the camera. Ive unistalled the drivers and software numerous times after that to still no avail. The wierd thing is that the camera works on other webcam software such as camfrog. Ive look in the forums for how to resolve this issue, but didnt find any. Please tell me how to solve this before i exchange this to the camera i originally intended to purchase which was the MS Live Cam.

    You are not alone, I've bought a Live! Cam Voice two days ago thinking to get top videos and instead I got literally nothing. I've experienced the same problem you have and, in addition to the tests you made, I've also installed the drivers downloaded from Creative website, without any result. The Creative customer support area in the website says that we have right to directly call by phone, for assistance, during 60 days after the purchase, but no telephone number appears so I had to write an e-mail to notify the problem. Have you done the same? I am quite disappointed. Regards

  • Webcam Instant, Creative Webcam Center issue

    im having trouble with my webcam center application. drivers and everything installed just fine and i accessed the Center application once with no problem until i tried to save a captured pic. then it went unresponsi've and now wont start at all. i even tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it doesnt work.

    JornGP .... Have you tried doing more than taking one snapshot under each user name? I tried going into other users as well. The software started, but as soon as I took a snapshot it locked up. Now under those users it no longer starts up either and locks.
    As for Windows Updates, I don't have my PC set for automatic updates - it only updates when I manually check for updates and install. No new updates were installed on my PC during the time this problem started, so that can't be it.

  • Software WebCam Center

    in your autoupdate page of Support, I find new driver.
    But where I find also new software for WebCam Center? Or, simply, to reinstall it.
    I have WebCam Live! Pro
    Windows XP Home, s.p.2
    Thank you

    Sorry, don't know what else to suggest unless there's a URL to the problem stream that someone here can try. Otherwise we can't test it to try and determine what might be wrong.
    BTW, make sure they're testing it with a Mac, not with a Windows system. If they test only with Windows, what they say is or is not working doesn't mean much.

  • 5600-VTDR256 (Alternative to Media Center II for watching TV)

    Hello, I would like to know if there is any alternative application that I can use to watch TV instead of Media Center II.
    I would really hope that there are other softwares available that play out anything that the nVidia WDM drivers give them.
    Reasons for shifting are:
    [list=1]
    When watching TV on Media Center the bottom 2 inches of screen are cropped in the software, and the picture is very slightly narrowed (as in its made a square forcefully)
    Media Center always mutes my Wave/Mp3 sound on startup and on exit doesn't fix this and put the Line In on full.
    Media Center on exit turns on the power management icon in the task bar which appears after reboot, and I have to turn off the option (Always show power management icon in task bar) manually.[/list=1]
    If anyone can help out it'll be really appreciated.

    do a search of these forums and/or google them for reviews/pros/cons of the following MCD II alternatives:
    Dscaler 4.1.8 (i use this for watching TV)
    WinampTV
    VirtualVCR
    FlyTV
    ChrisTV
    intervideo winDVR (i use this for timeshifting and recording)
    powerDVR (or whatever it is called from cyberlink)
    good luck.
    sorry i can't help with your errors on MCDII. i had similar issues and deleted it.
    regards

  • Creative webcam center "load failed" error

    hello,
    sorry if this has been covered, i tried the search and knowledge base but no luck.
    i tried to update the webcam centre software to the new version form the version on the cd. it installs fine but then will not run. all i get is a "load failed" window. click "ok" and it pops up again. does this about fi've times, the propts to send an error report.
    any ideas why?
    i have reverted back to the cd version for now.

    I too have this problem, but even after I re-install the cd software that came with the camera, I still get the load error! What is going on here!!

  • Creative Webcam Center feature request

    I've used several webcam applications. This one is very nice, but is lacking the most important feature for me. Under motion detection, there should be an option to save image captures, not just video. Video takes a lot of disk space. I would like to have a captured image for every x seconds motion is present. If you would like a sample of very valuable settings in this regard, you could try Willing Webcam.
    Thanks,

  • Core Center alternative?

    I'm getting tired of the error message "Failed to load hardware monitor driver!" in Core Center 1.6.1.0.  I find that I have to manually load the program, and even then, I sometimes get the same error.
    Does anyone know of a good alternative to Core Center 1.6.1.0?  Ideally, I'd like a program that would dynamically display FSB and Multiplier because I use Cool & Quiet and I find such information interesting.  Also, the program would display the temperatures, voltages, fan speed, etc.  Thanks!

    Ok I disabled the application, and it seems to work- thanks.  Core center now loads without the error message.
    I am curious though... what exactly did I disable?  I'd hate to be without 5.1 channels when I'm playing Battlefield  
    Audigy 1 doesn't work with K8T Neo, and it seems Audigy2 software causes problems....  Does MSI have some kind of grudge against Creative?
