WebCam Plus / Software Hanging

Hi,
I have a Creative WebCam Plus running on an XP system. I have installed the latest software that is available with this unit, and the update I found at creative.com, but everytime I open the software, it hangs. The window freezes and the application never even opens. The camera is connected via USB cable that I know is good because the camera shows up fine and as working properly in device manager.
Has anyone else had crazy hang-up software issues like this?
I recently formatted and reinstalled XP on this system, and had the same WebCam Plus with the same software running the same system just fine.
I am out of ideas.
If anyone has any advice on how to correct this, it would be welcomed. Thanks.

Hi, I am experiencing exactly the same problem. The webcam plus (CT6840) doesn't work on WinXP, even though it works all right even in Win2K virtual machine on the same hardware. I tried all the same tricks to no avail.
I have the same problem with this camera (posted here http://forums.creative.com/creativel...message.id=532). I have tried everything I can think of but to no avail. Can anyone help?

Video Blaster Webcam Plus and Windows XP

I have a Video Blaster Webcam Plus which was purchased in 2000. Having just up-graded to a new PC using Windows XP I would be grateful for any information on how to install the software to make it run!

Hey I'm having the same problem, and thought that maybe we'd get more help if a few people had this happening? It won't even install for me, when the camera is almost done, the camera beeps twice to say its on and then my computer turns blue and dies. i dont really like that screen, so if anyone can fix it or tell me what to do?

Hi tolmen,
When you say that the webcam isn't detected, is that by the Webcam software, or by the Windows Device Manager? Did the webcam ever work?
Check out Webcam Troubleshooting (Windows 8), specifically look at the section called Webcam is not listed in Device Manager, and follow the steps you see there. Post back to this thread the results and we can go from there if you are still having problems.
Good Luck!

I would recommend contacting the vendor or maker of the software for support.

Hi gbslade,
Considering your issue only seems to be with contacts, I would suspect there may be a corrupt/invalid contact entry in your Yahoo account. My suggestion is to first setup a one-way synchronization from the BlackBerry to Yahoo, then do the opposite. This should indicate where the issue is originating.
As well, check your Yahoo address book for any blank or incomplete contacts. Contacts that are missing a first name, last name and company name cannot be synchronized to the BlackBerry and could potentially cause hang-ups or a failed synchronization. A contact must have at least one of those three fields filled out.
Thanks!

What is license count of installing or use O365 Pro plus software per user for Bussiness

Hi All,
Today in our office given demo of Office 365 usages and license details , but i am little bit confused on licensing.
They told we can use Office 365 Pro Plus software into 15 Device ( 5 Windows PC + 5 MAC + 5 Mobile or Tablets).
I refereed this below link as well
http://products.office.com/en-us/business/office-365-proplus-business-software
[Enjoy a consistent and familiar Office experience across PCs, Macs, Windows tablets, iPads®, and most mobile devices.
Each user can install Office on 5 PCs or Macs, 5 Windows tablets or iPads, and 5 phones.]
Is anyone confirm this is true, is Microsoft increased the license count of 5 (it could be any devices, at max we can use my O365 ID 5 times to install and activate) to 15.
and this from FAQ session:
What is Office 365 Pro Plus?
Office 365 ProPlus is one of the subscription service plans in the new Office. It is productivity software (including Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, Access, and Lync) that is installed on your desktop or laptop computer. Office 365

Based on my knowledge, it's not 5 Windows PC + 5 MAC but 5 Windows PC or 5 MAC. To confirm the information, you can contact the customer service:

Problems with Creative Zen V plus software

Sorry for my english... It's not my language.

Hey Guys,Here is a link to instructions on how How to obtain and to install USB 2.0 drivers in Windows XP Service Pack . http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q329632?Win2000 and later have the capability to support USB 2.0, but USB 2.0 was released after XP was release, so there weren't any drivers installed before Windows XP service pack 2. Make sure you've installed all your windows updates including service pack 2. You can check if you have SP2 by right-clicking on my computer and choosing "properties", it will say on the general tab. Also the way to tell if you have USB 2.0 drivers installed is to right-click on my choose "Manage", then choose "device manager" look down to "uni'versal serial Bus controllers" and click on the + . This will expand the USB devices. Look for the word "enchanced" (USB enhanced host controller). If you see it, then you have USB 2.0 support. If not, use the link above and get the drivers. Hope this helps!?JT

Webcam assistant software for windows 7 64 bit

i have toshiba sattellite L305d-S5893, i upgraded to windows 7 64 bit, having trouble with my webcamera, works, but it would show up little blurry and dark, even though im in a place where theres light..need to download webcam assistant software for this?? what other important downloads do i need, im not familiar with computers so the most help i get, better. thanks!

Satellite L305D-S5893 Specifications
Satellite L305D-S5893 Downloads
When you upgraded to Windows 7 64bit did you do an inplace upgrade of your Vista 64bit installation carefully following these directions?
How To Manually Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 - Satellite L305D/355D
Or did you a clean or custom install of Win7? If you did a clean install it would be best to use the Toshiba Recovery disks that either came with your system, or that you should have created as directed on page 61 of your User's Guide, depending on whether or not your system originally came with HDD recovery partition, to restore your system to its factory default out-of-the-box setup. Then follow the upgrade procedure above.

Please identify your notebook with the complete product name or model number.
Have you looked at the box the notebook came in to see if it says it has a webcam? Not all notebooks do come with webcams.
Kind regards,

Webcam instant software no longer working

After original install, the program worked great for about two weeks. Then it stopped working correctly.
Problem: It would not record at all.
Solution: reinstall.
Result: Locked program with partial launch (I could see a scrollbar for the program appear but nothing else)
Solution: Reinstall with as complete erase as I could manage. The uninstall program does not actually uninstall much.
Result: Upon reinstalling (with more than 7 attempts to completely erase this fine program) it is clear that the factory presets are not reset, rather they are set to my previous install. However, I am now able to record. Unfortunately the audio portion is played back first with a frozen image. This portion of the play back is then followed by 5-30 minutes of just frozen image. At the end of the playback comes the actual moving video image without sound.
Solution: Told by helpful Creative people that QuickTime 7 is interfering with webcam software. Uninstalled QuickTime 7 (and subsequently ipod). Then did a complete uninstall (however see above). I then reinstalled.
Result: Same as last result except that I have now lost all my music.
Any solutions, thoughts?
Yes I have removed all other USB junk. Yes I have cleaned the disk a defragged it. Yes I rebooted. Yes I followed the setup instructions. And yes I read that amazingly fine troubleshooting guide that cam with the CD as well as the equally stellar knowledge base on the web.

i had a similar problem. the video capture mode. it captures a video but wont capture if you enable audio. and then if you add in an audio compressor, it seems to capture the audio first, and then play the video track second. so you see one still, then hear the audio, then the video plays. i messed with all the codecs and to no avail. i dont know what the problem is but it seems to me that creative which is primarily a sound company should figure this out as its pretty lame to have a webcam that wont record videos properly with sound. and can i just say that this site is the hardest to use on the planet. very poor support. you should have some default box or something so i dont have to pick my region ten million times, like an english language opt out thing, its annoying.
