Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 not supported

Since upgrading(?) to Win8, my webcam not longer works with skype. I have tried every possible option, including using the Microsoft support desk to see if there is a compatible driver for this camera. Apparently it is not supported by Microsoft (at this time ... and probably won't be). The same thing happened in "upgrading" to Win 7. I'm not willing to give up yet and buy another camera. Anyone experiencing the same problem?  Is there any other solution?

You are very welcome.
Sorry, i have no idea. Please See this thread:

  • I'm trying to load photoshop elements 12 on my mac os x and when i click setup.exe i get :    You can't open the application "Setup.exe" because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X.

    i'm trying to load photoshop elements 12 on my mac os x and when i click setup.exe i get : You can’t open the application “Setup.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X.  The premiere elements 12 out of the same box loaded just fine.

    An .exe file means you have the windows version. Go get the mac version:
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 12, 11, 10
    but I hope you have a mac serial number.

  • Why does 'You can't open the application "setup.exe" because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X.' pop up whenever i try to download the latest flash player?

  • Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X. help

    Im trying to watch a DVD for a health and safety test i need to do and I'm getting "You can’t open the application “RunMe.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X."
    Im not very good with computers so any help greatly appreciated 

    You chose a Windows program, what else can you do.
    If you had a Windows machine and the DVD required a Mac you wouldn't be able to run it at all (Winboxes can't run OSX) so at least the Mac gives you the option.

  • I can't open application "Setup EXE" because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X.

    I can't open application "Setup Exe" because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X!  How do I install Windows software?

    Sorry I misinformed you this is update bundle, if you already have Office installe, you can search Amazon for Micrsoft Office for Mac, sorry for the error,
    Check here:

  • You can't open the application "MFI_Simulator.exe" because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X. Can someone assist. I have Office for Mac 2011 on MacBook Pro 13''.

    You can’t open the application “MFI_Simulator.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X. Can someone assist. I have Office 2011 on my MacBook Pro, OS X, 10.9.1.

    Your Office 2011, though a Microsoft product, is designed to work with OSX the Mac operating system.  Any program/application ending .exe is an executable program for Windows.  It will only work in Windows and is not part of or openable with Microsoft Office.
    the application you want to open needs Windows - you have a couple of alternatives:
    Open it on a Windows PC
    Install a valid version of Windows via Bootcamp (or Parallels or VM Fusion) which will allow you to boot your Mac into Windows where it will function like a Windows PC and you can use it to run the application.
    See if the manufacturers of MFI_Simulator have a Mac version available.
    Please note that if you follow the second option, then you will need to purchase a copy of Windows (if you do not have one already). BootCamp is free (part of OSX) but Parallels and VM Fusion cost too.  I see quite a few posts from people who buy Parallels and try to run the program under Parallels - this doesn't work - you need to install Windows as well.
    Hope this helps.

  • I'm trying to download internet security and an error of microsoft windows applications are not supported on OS x keeps coming up

    That's because you must be trying to download a Windows application, and they do not run on a Mac unless you are running Windows on the Mac.
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    For adware removal see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Tool.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
      Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
      OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
      OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
      OS X Mavericks- Protect your Mac from malware
      About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

  • Microsoft Adcenter says browser not supported

    Microsoft Adcenter says browser not supported and tells me to enable cookies and java yet these are enabled

    Hello Siborg.
    Can you provide me with a link for this site? You may need to contact Microsoft about this, though.
    Or you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • WIN 8.1 and MICROSOFT LIFECAM HD-3000 compatibilty - Preview screen "blacked-out"

    It seems that there are hundreds of Users with Webcam issues since WIN 8.1 has been downloaded. I have trawled sites and Forums for procedures to ensure that my LIFECAM HD-3000 will work otherwise it a waste of £14.99. No solution has worked. Drivers and
    software have been re-loaded from official MS site, and/or Safe Starts undertaken, and/or uninstalling and then re-installing and nothing works.
    I think that the problem is that the CAMERA APP built-in with WINS 8 or 8.1 is "always on" in the background and stops other programs/programmes using the webcam output. Is one definitive answer to get webcams working in WINS8.1. Even the MANYCAM
    software fails to work with WIN8.1.
    Help. Thank you.

    Hi,
    This could be driver issue. Please contact the manufacturer to ask for the latest driver for your Webcam in Windows 8.1, and reinstall it to check the results. If there is not, we need wait for the updates from manufacturer.
    Meanwhile, to use webcam, we need to get it properly set.

  • I just "upgraded" to Lion - now my version of Microsoft Professional is apparently not supported. Is there a fix?

    I just installed Lion on my iMac, tried to open an Office Document and received a message " You can't open the application Microsoft Word because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." My version of Office Professional is not that old - is there a fix for this? The $29 upgrade to Lion is not worth having to replace my software.

    Your version of Office dates back to 2004 before there were Intel Macs. Lion does not support PPC-only applications such as Office 2004 so you need to upgrade it to Office 2011 which is compatible with Lion.
    You will have this same issue with any other older PPC-only applications, so they, too, will need to be updated.

  • Microsoft Lifecam Studio HD not working with skype...

    Greetings, I recently upgraded my computer from windows 8 to Windows 8.1.
    My webcam works in the microsoft lifecam application, but when I attempt to use it in Skype, I just see the the swirling 'loading' icon for the webcam.
    I would like to resolve this as soon as possible
    Thanks

    When I say that it doesn't work with any webcam software in the desktop, I mean Skype, Windows Live Messenger, LiveCam Studio software, CyberLink YouCam and not even in the Microsoft Silverlight configuration.
    I know that the webcam is working because it works in the camera app of metro, and in the sound recorder of the desktop. Of course I can see that the webcam microphone is working, but using any of the above software have no video or audio.
    YouCam gives me this error message: "YouCam cannot connect to your webcam ( Microsoft LifeCam Cinema). Try selecting another capture device within settings, or close any applications that may be using this webcam and then restart YouCam."
    worked ok up till last week, downloaded Have reinstall all new drivers and Softwear up to date but No LifeCam.EXE File is missing from Software (US)
    Microsoft needs to fix this as cam only got as Skype Certified

  • My Microsoft Word 2004 is not supported..should I upgrade to 2011?

    I can not open my Microsoft Office 2004  since Lion does not support it. Can I upgrade to Mocrosoft office 2011?

    It is worth noting, however, that if you use Entourage in Office 2004 you will NOT be able to import messages into Office 2011 running on Lion. This is because Office 2011 must be able to run Entourage in order to import the messages. So you must upgrade to Office 2011 on Snow Leopard first, and then upgrade to Lion.

  • Microsoft health "notifications are not supported in this version of windows phone"
