Creative WebCam Vista Plus on USB PCI Card (VIA VT 6212) on Windows ME - doesnt work !!

PC turns off when the Vista Plus WebCam is connected to the USB port on my USB PCI Card
I use a primitive Intel Celeron 300Mhz processor with 64MB RAM on an Intel 440BX-AT Chipset running on Window ME. I recently installed a USB PCI Card (based on the VIA VT 622 chipset) which is a 394/USB 2.0 Combo. The problem is my 'Creative WebCam Vista Plus' doesnt work with it.
After I had installed the drivers on the 'Creative WebCam Vista Plus' CD - that is - without connecting the webcam to my USB PCI card the installation asks me to connect the webcam to the USB port and When I do that the PC just GOES OFF !
It starts up only in SAFE MODE and each time I've got to restore my PC.
How do I get the WebCam connected to my PC ?
Thanks in advance

9hours later and Ive given up. I cant get the Vista 64 Ultimate to work with the Audigy 2Nx usb sound card. Im very angry and very frustrated (not to mention very tired from the 2 late nights Ive spent trying to work it out). Im not a PC-noob, but am only 4days into my Vista ownership................... Im guessing now, after much research, that there will never be a driver that gets these units to work with Vista 64bit. thats pretty weak Creative. However, I dont want to use crappy onboard sound for my gaming.What is the suggestion?Should I be looking at returning this unit, and buying either the X-Fi Xtremegamer?Fatality Pro as?a highend device, or the X-Fi Xtremegamer for $00 less? Or should I be looking at another manufacturer. Would either of these x-fi gamers work with Vista 64bit Ultimate?suggestions please?

  • Creative WebCam Vista Plus - need Driver for Vis

    Hi,
    I've a problem with my WebCam. I've bougth the Creative WebCam Vista Plus and everything working fine, using WinXP.
    Now I bougth a new PC with Vista Business 64bit. I plugged in the WebCam and wondered, that the Vista drivers are not allready on bord. So I tryed to download the driver from the Creative Support Site. There I got only the answer, that there is no download available for my product... !!
    By the time I bought the Cam i thougth, that I am buying a future-proof product. I mean, even the name of the cam includes the word VISTA! Isn't that crazy
    Does everone know a possibility to get the Cam working I'm realy upset about the driver-policy from Creative.
    Another thing is, to find the german website. Why i cant usw www.creative.de I had to google the adress... http://de.europe.creative.com/welcome.asp

    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.

  • Webcam Vista Plus - Webcam Centre unable to flip images

    I just got a Webcam Vista Plus yesterday. After faultless installation, I noticed that the software itself does not have the option to flip streaming images vertically and horizontally !
    I noticed that similar software for other creative webcam has this built in functions. My previous budget logitech webcam came with its software with similar function too.
    So I wonder if there can be a patch to allow image flipping to happen.
    I use this cam mainly for realtime surveillence on my computer during work, but needs to be installed upside down on the ceiling.
    I appreciate some feedback.

    I too am experiencing the same difficulty with a PD00 web cam. My camera was to be mounted from the ceiling, and this functionality would be helpful.

  • Upgrading the G3 /DT with USB PCI Card for Printer Connection

    I would like to connect a Brother MFC-9160 laser printer to one of my Beige G3 /DT with Macintosh OS 9.2.2 installed.
    There are two ways to do that: USB or Parallel. I don't know if Parallel adapters for Macintosh are available. This is the reason why I am favouring the solution of PCI USB upgrade.
    The problem is that the few USB adapters I saw on sale on various French Mac warehouses were all USB 2.0 compliant, and required a Power Macintosh G3 /BW.
    I suppose that a USB 2.0 compliant card is also de facto USB 1.1 compliant, but I am not sure. Besides the hardware issue, there is of course the problem of support on a Beige G3 for USB 1.1.
    Could you please elaborate on the hardware which would run on a Beige G3? I am open to any friendly advice
    Frederic W. Erk

    By the way I wonder if it would be possible to
    connect to the laser printer through electricity
    network. No cables, here because the building in 400
    years old and too large. Wireless, he he... Not even
    worth speaking about it....
    I'm not sure about what kind of electrical wiring you have available over there, or if these kind of products are compatible, but there are some options in the US for using the electrical outlets in a house to create a LAN network. With this kind of network you could use keep the printer on the B&W and turn on USB printer sharing. Printing from OS 9 on the G3 might not work with all printers. That kind of networking equipment is more costly than just adding a USB PCI card to the G3 to use the printer directly, but you might also be able to share a single high-speed internet connection that way. It all depends on what your needs are.
    Is this what you were asking about?

  • 3rd party USB PCI card and Leopard

    I installed a USB 2.0 Compusa Card in my Dual 867 Mac several Years ago, to get USB 2.0 speeds when i got a new Ipod. When 10.4, most t=of the time, early versions not included, I was unable to put the card computer to sleep and then be able to revive it. Leopard fixed that problem, but now the card is losing ports. It is a four port card, and the currently the two inner most ports are not working. The two outer ports are still working. I have had since prior to installing 10.5 my Iphone, Dock, A USB external Drive, for time machine, A USB hub, and my Keyboard attached to the USB 2.0 card. Now the drive disappeared and I am unable to retrieve. Anyone else having this Problem, has anyone had this problem and resolved it. Any help would be appreciated. I am contemplating a New PCI USb 2.0 card, but Not sure if it is the card or Leopard, as i have not had a any problems until 10.5 and 10.5.1 installations.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello.
    I have a G4 Dual 1.42GHz (FW800) and an USB 2.0 PCI card (VIA chipset) and it also worked very fine under Tiger. Since this card is sold for the PC market it doesn't bring a driver for Mac OS X.
    I went to the VIA site (http://www.via.com.tw/), there I could found they have another site with drivers for almost any OS. This is the address: http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=2
    Click on the Mac OS choice in the list and then in USB to get the driver. The driver version is 1.60 and it supports G4 systems ONLY and OS versions: MAC OS X 10.2.x, MAC OS X 10.3.x, MAC OS X 10.4.x. Nothing is said about MAC OS 10.5.x.
    Unfortunately it doesn't work in my G4 with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). I also tried to use the USB 2.0 PCI card before installing the driver to see if Apple could have done a driver of its own, but it also didn't work.
    If your card has a VIA chipset I recommend you write an e-mail to VIA Technologies, Inc. and tell your problem and ask for the update. I did it too.
    I hope they can work it out soon.

  • Iogear USB PCI Card

    Hello, after doing some searching here in the Apple Discussions, I bought an Iogear GIC251U USB PCI card to put in my Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5. I made sure it had an NEC chip. Works fine until I put the it to sleep. It will not wake up and has to be forced shut down via power button. Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    jborrows

    I usually start by looking at OWC and Sonnet brand, then check with AccelerateYourMac. You already have 10.4.x so that helps.

  • Suggest USB PCI card for PM 7200/120

    Hi
    I want to instal a USB PCI card in a 7200/120. It's running OS 8.6 with Apple USB Support 1.4.1 software. Also have Toast Titanium 5.2 with its Toast USB support extensions loaded. Also tried running OS 9.1 on alternative startup drive with same Apple USB Support 1.4.1 etc.
    I've installed a 5 port USB v2 (32-bit host interface compliant to PCI spec release 2.2 and backward compatible with USB 1.1) card from Laser (www.laserco.net). The packaging says it's compatible with Win 98/98SE/ME/2000/XP but no mention of Mac. The 7200 doesn't see the card installed in PCI slot (checking Apple System Profiler). Double-checked to make sure the PCI was securely seated in the slot, tried different slot etc.
    I also tried re-installing Apple USB Support v.1.2 on the OS 8.6 volume but still no good.
    I'm in Australia and wondered if anyone can recommend a USB card that actually works in the 7200?

    Claudio,
    Two years ago, this question was very common. Warnings were given about certain Belkin cards not working well. With the passage of time and the drop in price of newer used systems, few people spend money on upgrading older equipment. It can be done but the beige G3 is the minimum platform that most will work on. Here is a guide to Mac resources in Australia.
    http://www.tandb.com.au/buying/
    This site sells a wide array of older Mac products. They offer an interesting list of prior models that they still buy, including 7300 models and IIci models. The 7200 is not on their list of models that are in demand.
    http://resale.headgap.com/
    "TRADE-INS OR SELL YOUR OLD MAC
    Remember we pay wholesale prices. Many times when you are ready to upgrade your old system may not be worth much, especially to a dealer who is used to buying in quantity at wholesale prices and has the units shipped in bulk truck freight. Boxing and shipping your old system costs a few dollars. Here lately we have been having more trouble locating older systems people are still buying. We will begin offering trade-ins or to buy outright certain older systems. The following are on the list: PowerMac G4, iMac G4, QuickSilver G4, Blue & White (REV 2 Only), G3 Desktops, PowerMac 7300, Quadra or Centris 650, and Mac IICI's and SI's. The units need to be cosmetically in good condition and working (at least chiming). Trade in value will vary from the top wholesale price for extra clean, that exceed stock configurations and down for less that prime units. We are also purchasing good used Apple Desktop Bus Mouse II ADB Mice, working StyleWriters, and SCSI Zip Drives."
    Hope this helps. My experience with buying USB cards for Macs convinced me to only buy cards that are already installed in a working used Mac. The Mac costs $15 US and the card is free. I realize that your market is somewhat different. However, if it is hard to find a working card here, it will be even harder there.
    Take note, even Headgap does not want Rev. 1 Blue and White Macs. Avoid them if you have a choice.
    This company has iMacs for under $200 in Australia. That may be high and it may not be a current price.
    http://www.newwavesystems.com.au/pre-owned_imac.html
    They also show a PowerMac G4/400MHz for $150 Australian here:
    http://www.newwavesystems.com.au/pre-owned_powermac.html
    That would be money well spent compared to any upgrades to a 7200. Otherwise, find a recycler who knows a thing or two about Macs and wait for them to come across the right card for you.

  • SATA and or USB  PCI card ?

    I have a couple of external drives (can use either usb or esata) I want to set up on one of my PM G4's,,as we all now they only have 2 usb's and no sata connections,,so I was hoping to see if anyone has come across something like this. either a SATA/USB PCI card combo or just a SATA card and a USB card that will work this mac...

    Hey thx Thomas for reminding me, I have a 4 port hub which I have'nt used in a while,,I added it and my external drive still cant be seen. any of them and I have 3 different ones,,I have done some searching on this and found something that mentioned the "mass storage" I have looked in the system profiler and dont see anything like that.could this be an issue??? also under s/p when I look at the "usb" info I see my mouse/keyboard and the hub all connected but no external drive ??? yes it's turned on hehe....oh btw how many people on here work for OWC cause it seems thats the only site any body recommends around here...lol

  • USB PCIe Card Recommendation

    Can anyone recommend a good USB PCIe card that is known to work well with the mac. So far I have found several recommendations for a Sonnett Alegro card.
    Thanks!

    Undoubtedly there are others that will work, but I've had good luck with Sonnet's products and would also recommend them.

  • Drivers for Belkin F5U220 USB PCI card

    I am trying to install Belkin F5U220 USB PCI card into my G4. There are no drivers on the CD or Belkin's website. After installation, I connection Apple mouse. The mouse indicator was lit. But does not work. Where can I get drivers for this PCI card ? I read several posts here that this card worked on many systems. Wondering how it worked... Appreciate any help.

    The drivers are built into the operating system.
    Does the card appear in your system profiler?
    When I plugged in my usb 2 card it just worked. From time to time I had to reset the pmu to get things reset properly but it has been 2 times in 2 years. (lots of 2's in my post, huh?)
    Apple seems to have removed the link to the reset of the pmu so I'll give a readers digest.
    Open the mac
    Touch the power supply case to ground yourself
    Remove the battery and check the voltage (3.6V)
    Press the pmu button (3/8"square box with a bb size button in the center). Hold it down for a 3 count. Don't press it more than one time or you will mess things up
    Replace the battery
    Restart the mac with the usb2 card in it.
    See if that helps
