Webcam instant failure to install

Hi guys, have just bought the webcam instant which comes with game star games, however neither of the 2 disc start up, each one logging a fatal error message, so i cant even install the software.
Help please!
Paul

Hi Paul,
I have experienced similar problems but have narrowed it down to the next to last level before the BIOS.
In my opinion, the installation problem is due to the last Windows Update.
I can plug and play the webcam and use it in MSN Messenger but Windows does not retain the hardware installation and then everything starts crashing after I reboot. My only option is to perform a System Restore in Fail Safe mode to get my system stable again.
I would wait until Microsoft fixes that which needs fixing and try to install it again after the next Windows Update (probably due in about two weeks from now (2nd Dec 2005))

P4: icuuc40.dll P5: 4.0.0.3207
You're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file. (Apple Application Support is where program files that are used by more than one Apple program are kept.) Some XP systems aren't liking the 4.0.0.3207 version of the dll that is included in Apple Application Support 1.5.0.
The workaround at the moment on XP is to either:
(1) Swap out your existing version of the dll for the 4.0.0.3205 version that was included in Apple Application Support 1.4.1.
(2) Alternatively, you could download the icu4c-401-Win32-msvc8.zip from:
http://icu-project.org/download/4.0.html
... extract the 4.0.1.0 version of the dll from that package, and replace your current 4.0.0.3207 with that.
The location of the existing file on your system is at:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\icuuc40.dll
Drag the copy you find there out onto your desktop, and then drag in the version 4.0.0.3205 or the 4.0.1.0.

Webcam Instant Distorted Images

I have recently successfully installed Webcam Instant, but the image I see on my own screen during Skype calls is distorted to show 4 of me and 2 of who I am speaking to. The image on my screen is also very poor quality and of a pale green colour. Apparently the image received from my camera at the other end is AOK. Any ideas on how to solve the problem ?

Hi Batlasi,
If memory serves me well, the Webcam Instant supports up to Windows XP. You may verify by referring to this link as well.

Webcam instant driver * link *

After searching all over for it without any success ( specially here on creative website )
I came across a link that worked
and now my cam is finally installed and running
if anyone needs the webcam INSTANT driver , here is the link :
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/SCA...729-WHQL.shtml
Have a great day !

Just learned that the driver on the CD that came with the Webcam Instant works with Vista Ultimate SP1 x86. Just don't try to install it by using the install program on the CD. Also, you will have to have the Creative Cam Detector version 1.71.02 for XP to get full functionality. I had a copy of this from my XP partition. (found in the Cache directory under Creative in the Program Files directory)

Webcam Instant x64 Driver Availability

I've been trying to track down the WinXP x64 driver for the Webcam Instant recently, but it seems that the product has been completely discontinued on the Creative support site. I can't find the driver anywhere on the site, and Creative's support team has just sent me the same link twice to a page that has a dead link to a non-existent driver file. I Googled for the driver, but all the sites I found just had a link back to the Creative page instead of hosting the file themselves. Does anybody know if this driver still exists anywhere and how I can get it? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Found it at PlanetAMD64, but seeing as you need to be a member to download it I saved you the trouble and uplodaed it here,
http://files.filefront.com/WebcamIns.../fileinfo.html
P.S. For any Vista x64 users that still have this cam this driver will install/work as well, just need to right click and set it to XP compatibility before running.

Webcam Instant Software Issue

My girlfriend recently purchased a Webcam Instant, and somehow, in a mysterious event(pun intended) broke the Installation CD before I could install it. Is there a site that I can get the Installation Software from, like a bit torrent, or a virtual drive NFO? Or am I completely in trouble, and just wasted that money? Thanks for the help.

go to this website. search for your down load under support then downloads. You can use your model number to search for your exact product download. my model number was ct6840.

WebCam Instant No Video

I just installed a WebCam Instant, and it's working fine on my end, i.e. it captures videos and pix. But when I started video chat session via Yahoo!Messenger, the other party didn't receive the video feed from my camera, although I could see them just fine - I deduce that to mean I have no problem with my firewall. What gives? Any help out there would be greatly appreciated.

Have you try using MSN or the webcam software?

Webcam Instant Not detected

Just got one of these webcam instants and the thing is not being detected in any way, shape or form anywhere on my PC or with in the software provided. I have downloaded the appropriate drivers from this site and still no go. So with further investigation I found that some times the bios has something to do with this? Somethng about BIOS not supporting this type of thing or getting a USB HUB with its own power source or something? Does this make sense to anyone? Anyway I have tried everything that I can except the USB hub thing (too much hassell and a buncha B.S.) and updating my bios. Im not down for that unless I absolutly HAVE to. Anyway if anyone can shed any light on this I would greatly appreciate it.
System Specs:
Windows 2000 Pro
Abit KG7 Mother Board

I'm having a similar problem. My WebCam Instant didn't intall ANY shortcuts. The driver is up to date and installed and the device is recognized BUT I CAN'T USE THE DARN THING. Working on it though ... will post again in -3 weeks.

WebCam Notebook will not install in Windows 7

Webcam Notbook will not install in Windows 7 and I can not find the drivers for the camara so i can install it .

Hi Csper22923,
Sorry but it doesn't seems like the WebCam Notebook is listed in the driver availablilty chart. There is probably no further driver development plans for it.

Failure to Install Adode Player

He guys I have been trying to install the Adobe Flash Player
in the windows xp.When I install from the adobe.com the process
does not go up to the end. I have tried to download through other
facilities and install, but when I doubleclick to install the file
"flashplayer10_install_activex_091508" i get the following error
messege " failure to install. for troubleshooting tips, please see
http/:......tn19166".The download box behind this shows "

can be the probem? what do I do?. Before that I was just using
Adobe Leader 8 without player.I have updated to adobe 9.

I have had the same problem, for a while now. I had Flash
player running on certain websites, but not on YouTube.com, but
linked vids on other websites would play. I uninstalled and
reinstalled like crazy and now, the components in the install won't
appear in the folder.
I have done all the "troubleshooting" steps for Windows Vista
and nothing makes a difference.
When I try and install, like Papaaa, the message flashes:
"Failed to install.
For troubelshooting tips, please see
http://www.adboe.com/go/tn_19166"
Behind this window, the install box reads:
"Registering: C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10a.ocx

Delete file: C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\install.log

Extract: Flash10a.ocx
Extract: FlashUtil10a.exe

Big problems with creative webcam instant (sample included)

yesterday i purchased a creative webcam instant, and i am dissapointed in the quality of the video.
The frame rate is great, however there is artifacting and the video jumps around all over the place.
I have never had a problem with any other imaging devices before, so i cant see why this is happening with this camera.
This happens with the creative webcam center, and also in any other application that uses video from the camera (such as any instant messenger program)
Here is a .88 meg file to show you how the video jumps around.

Blah! The WEBCamInstant is "cheap" & nasty & for beach light only.
1. You have a USB-2?

2. Try in WebCamCenter - Capture - Source - Exposure to Min. Too dark?

What should I do when I get failure to instal error message?
