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.

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.

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.

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

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

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?

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

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.
Regards.

Updating my Creative Play Center & Audio Headquarte

I had to have some major work done on my computer a while back, and they updated my Sound Blaster drivers while they were doing the repairs. As a result, my sound card works, my Creative recorder apparently works (it at least opens anyway), but my Creative Play Center and Audio Headquarters will no longer open. I'm running Windows XP and have a Sound Blaster Audigy Audio with IEEE 394 Sound Card . . .
The current driver is version: 5.2..286.
Creative PlayCenter is version: .5.23.0
Creative AudioHQ is version: .3.0.0
Creative Recorder is version: .2.2.0
I attempted to update using some of the files from Creative's download center (Audigy Web Update - Audigy Drivers AUD-WEBUP-W4-LB ) but that caused my sound card not to functon at all.
Which files do I need and what steps do I need to follow to upgrade my system so I can use Play Center and Audio Headquarters again?

Wow I have almost the exact same problem.
I have the original creative sound blaster.. (Which came installed with my computer.)
Originally I had the play center version number, 2.0.
But I had to recover my hard dri've due to another issue (not related to the sound card) and when I rebooted my system, at first certain creative software programs (such as sound recorder and other audio head quarters software) wasn't working correctly.
I tried to re-install the software but now here was where my problem got worse..
The card is set up for basically for plug and play on my system. It didn't come with a CD as the install program seams to be either in the card or saved to my hard dri've.. Not sure exactly but it was there.. (WAS!)
I should be able to un-install / re-install the programs but for some reason the first time I tried it worked but then the software slowly crashed out.
I tried to re-install the software again and when the computer finished booting I lost half the software all together! Including the install program! I tried going to creative and tried downloading software but all I could find was play center .0
I need 2.0.
As it stands now.. I still do not have the sound recorder and i also lost the creative sound studio.
but I do have audio head quarters which has the mixer and a few other things..
If someone knows a way to help either of us please respond..
Thanks to any that can help..

Creative Zen Radio Issue

Creative Zen Radio Issue?Hey,
I've had this creative zen player for some time now whilst im overall happy with my product, sadly there is all of a sudden a issue with it.
When i listen to the radio then lock it to just enjoy it - if i then unlock it, some times the screen locks up and stays black.
Whilst a reset solves this it doesn't stop it happening again.
But (this is a big but)...
The volume which i have on safely low - goes to compelte maximum with sound safety option off. It almost defeaned me when it occured and had ringing in my ears. I have booked an appointment with doctors as the ringing yes not really gone since.
Additionally im pretty sure my headphones are screwed as they were totally distorted when this occured which has probably ruined the quality of the speakers which were only a few months old.
So is this well known ? Cos im surprised no one has sued for loss of hearing if others have had this issue. I've yet to have my medical results on it - but would mostly prefer to have my mp3 fixed or replaced cos i cannot risk using it and having it do it again and make my hearing become damaged.
Thanks for reading.

Does the radio stop working right after lock? I locked the player right after choosing a radio station and the player continues to play. You might want to contact our Customer Support to see if they can help you further.

Sound blaster Audigy LS, creative media center and creative playcenter wont install on

Hello. I have a sound blaster Audigy LS card in my computer, it came as a bundle in my Sony Vaio that I bought in october of last year. I wanted to download the creative media center, or the creative playcenter. I went through the process of downloads and support and tried to run them on my computer it either says Setup is unable to detect supported product on your system. Click retry button to redirect your device and continue the installation. I've tried clicking retry and and the same message comes up. I have Screenblast Sound Forge . for VAIO and Screenblast ACID 4.0 for VAIO and wonder if thos two audio programs (came with the computer also) are in conflict with installing creative products? The operating system i am using is windows xp media center edition version 2002. Thanks in advance for anyone that can help me.

Hi All,
I am pretty much in the same boat but with an Audigy 2 Value Sound Card.
Removed some old piece of rubbish card (6MB Aztech PCI 288 Q3D using a Trident 4DWave-NX Chip.... yes about 6 yrs old !) in my daughters pc and replaced it with the new one.
Same error message i.e. hardware not detected... ihave already posted as im trying to find and install the right drivers. I have also tried the PCI-slot hopping etc etc.
So what next people ?

Problems with upgrading creative play center

I recently purchased a new computer and I wanted to install my software for my nomad jukebox. I installed the creative play center software and I got an error message that stated i must use a different version compatiblw with windows xp. I go to the download section and download the latest software and it won't work because the software can't locate my hardware (nomad jukebox). I can't install my nomad player because my drivers are not xp certified. What can I do?

You can still install the drivers even though they aren't XP certified - you just accept the warning when it is given.
Once the drivers are installed, and the Jukebox is recognised, you can install the software.
I have had PlayCenter working fine with my JB on my XP machine.
