Windows 7, WebCam Live! Ultra, and Gray options

I used this camera on Windows XP and it worked fine. But recently I switched to Windows 7. There doesn't seem to be any driver for this webcam on Windows 7. I tried the beta driver for Vista and it seems to work. (green light on the camera and visible video on Webcam Center program). However, now that I'm on Windows 7, I can't seem to change any settings. They are all grayed out. These settings are causing lag to my video like frame skips. How can I fix this gray option issue?
TL;DR -> Worked on xp, switched to windows 7, options are grayed. no windows 7 drivers for WebCam Live! Ultra.

Have a look here

Did you install at least SP for your Windows XP? Also, have you try downloading the hotfix that the error message mention. If not give it a try since it's meant for correcting some issue of USB with SP.

Help-Webcam live Ultra notebook w/ facetracker

Help. I just installed webcam live Ultra botebook, but everytime I try to disable face tracking, it automatically comes back on almost instantly. Is there a way to disable face tracking or a software addition that would allow manual control and zoom of camera?

Maybe you can try uninstall and reinstall the software.

Webcam Live Ultra conferencing

We're thinking about purchasing some of these webcams for internal use in our company. Can anyone tell me if they support many to one for conferencing or is it just one to one video?
Thanks.

I have the same experience - in a low light-level environment,
the cameras deliver 2fps to 5fps.
In a very bright environment,
the cameras deli'ver about 8fps to 25fps - but never more.
On the other hand, I realized that you can't get all the way to
30fps if your monitor refresh rate isn't exactly 60Hz or 90Hz.
Though my computer was ADVERTIZED as USB 2.0 and
my invoice states it has 6 USB 2.0 ports, chasing problems
with these cameras led me to discover they are USB . ports!
In device manager (or somewhere) it told me which chip was
the USB controller, and when I checked the intel website,
I learned the truth. My "webcam li've ultra for notebooks"
cameras did work in the USB . ports, but for some very
strange reason the camera [or driver] forced the images
into some horrible wacko compressed mode that showed
horrible blockiness at about every 8th or 6th pixel - and the
frame rate was stuck at fps to 2fps.
When I added a 5-port USB 2.0 PCI card to my computer and tried again,
the image blockiness vanished, and my frame rates rose
to 5fps in not-very-bright indoor lighting, and up-to 25fps
in so-bright-you-the-monitor-reflections-are-blazing.
So it is possible, anyway. My computer is 2.0 GHz P4,
most importantly - with Windows2000. WindowsXP SP2
seems to be a problem - with creative webcams, and in
many other ways.

Errors when installing VF0060 - Webcam Live Ultra

When I am running the installaltion CD, at around 9% completion I get an error that says "Installation is unable to continue because of one or more unresolved issues. Please contact support services and quote "Error I-001".
This is followed by the message - 'DoInstall fails to launch E:\WEBCAM\\WCenter\SETUP. INX. DoInstall return error code is -2472332.
The installation proceeds after acknowledging these messages (which come twice)
The drivers get installed and I can use the webcam
But the Creative Web Cam center DOES NOT get installed, only the user guide gets installed.
So I am not able to make use of the complete features of the webcam - please help. I tried disabling my Webroot spysweeper - does not help
- Siddharth

I have a similar situation:
Case - In very low light conditions, with auto exposure ON: if I set FPS at 30, I actually get about 20 and a dark image as if auto exposure wasn't working
Case 2 - In very low light conditions, with auto exposure ON: if I set FPS at 25 or less, I actually get about 5 but a very good image (auto exposure works dramatically well).
Case 3 - In very low light conditions, with auto exposure OFF: effecti've FPS matches whatever I set it at, but I get a very dark image
Case 4 - Now, in low to normal light conditions, regardless of auto exposure being ON or OFF, I can set FPS at 30, actually get 30 and a very good image (auto exposure works dramatically well).
I'm curious why auto exposure seems to play such an important role on frame rate and image quality, under very low light. Is exposure adjustment done at the camera or by software? I'm running a 3 ghz processor with lots of headroom.

I lost my drivers CD Webcam NX Ultra...

I lost my drivers CD Webcam NX Ultra and cant find in creative site. Only an upgrade, but I need the complete drivers...how can I have it's and the bundled software?
Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
Apple provides the BootCamp Driver on the Mac OSX install DVD that came with your Mac.
After the installation of Windows insert that DVD while in WIndows and the Driver Setup should start automatically.
If you don't have the OSX DVD anymore you can call Apple and ask for a replacement.
Or you can go into the nearest store and buy a Mac OSX Snow Leopard install DVD for about 30 USD.
XP is supported with BootCamp as long as it a XP SP2 or SP3 32-bit retail or SystemBuilder version and not manufacturer-branded.

WebCam Live Microphone

This is my first post on this forum. The matter has probably been covered before but I'm not sure how to access it.
Yesterday I installed my new 'WebCam Live' camera and microphone. I use a headphone set with attached mic for "skype" and prefer to use the headphone mic over the WebCam mic.
I am told that there is a way to set it up so that I can do this. I did not find anywhere in the set-up that
indicated a choice was possible.
Does anyone out there use this method ?
If you can help me out here I would appreciate it.
If you care to e-mail me my address is [email protected]
Thanks...........Robert.

Thanks Jason, but the fact of the matter is that there is a definite procedure to configure the set up for a different mic other than the one that comes with the bundle. I have been in touch with "Customer Support " and this apparently is the case. However I was not able to download the page/article that they recommended as there appears to be some problem with it.
Here is the address see if you can access it --- if you can please let me know.

Webcam Live pro taking lots of fotos on its own!!

Hi guys, i have the webcam live pro and when i am in capture mode ... it takes so many fotos by itself without me pressing a thing. and by alot i mena hundreds unles si close the webcam centre. can anyone tell me why this is happening and what i can do to fix it's .. thanks

Try turning off automatic exposure in the settings. And adjust some of the other settings (gamma, brightness, exposure) until you get a picture which you're happy with. And try that. In the UK, films are made at 24fps (frames per second) PAL format, and in America it's 30fps NTSC format. So yes, 30fps is as good as it gets! It's as good as TV and better than a lot of other webcams.

Windows 10 needs an option to completely remove Metro/Modern UI, Apps, Live Titles and Windows Store.

The main thing I expected for next version of Windows is an to completity remove Metro/Modern UI, Apps, Live Titles and Windows Store. Microsoft does not understand the Windows 8 bad reputation and has not learned anything.

A little Microsoft last years history:
Microsoft en general has good operatings systems in all segments, good office and server products, before year 2010.
The best OS that Microsoft never ended is Longhorn:
http://www.zdnet.com/windows-longhorn-still-the-most-exciting-windows-ui-to-date-7000007363/
http://longhorn.ms/
Microsoft be the first on a good mobile OS: Windows Mobile. In lastest versions of Windows Mobile, i can sync all my Exchange items, including tasks and notes. Its has a good interface with a menu, a desktop with shortcuts and more. Every new version improve
visuals with more effects, gradients, transparencies and more. Windows Mobile are far years old than iOS or Android.
But since year 2010, Microsoft presents Windows Phone, with and ugly user interface, with less visuals, no desktop, no notifications, no apps, no app compatibility with Windows Mobile and only sync Contacts and Email. No calendar, tasks, notes. Also the
simplicity of the Mail app makes it unuseable.
Now, in 2014, Windows Phone can sync Calendar, but no Tasks or Notes. Less than in Windows Mobile.
Android is new for year 2009 and mimics desktop OS's and Windows Mobile with a desktop and gadgets. In every new version of Android i see a lot of improvements and new features. I also sync Exchange tasks and with another app, Exchange Notes. Android continues
to mimic desktop OS's now featuring Windows on a mobile OS, but Microsoft is removing desktop features in order to a limited Metro ugly interface.
Windows Mobile had a 30% market share and Windows Phone has a 2,5% of market share.
With this bad and ugly OS, Microsoft completity destroys Nokia.
With this bad reputation of an ugly and unuseable OS, Microsoft decide to put all this ugly OS to the Windows Desktop OS, with less features than older Windows OS versions,
obtaining no more than 10% of market share, compared to the more than 50% of Windows 7 and the more than 20% of Windows XP.
Also Microsoft remove features in every new version of every Microsoft product except in SQL Server.
Microsoft Office removed crucial features and shows an ugly UI with ugly icons. For example, Office 2013 shows me less emails on screen than Office 2010. Also the lack of constrast and the lack of ClearType make it difficult to read.
The UI and icons in Visual Studio with the ridicolous ALL CAPS menu are higly
criticized by the developer community forcing Microsoft to change visuals, new icons and a Visual Studio 10 Theme. But continues flat, ugly and with less features than previous versions.
Exchange removes the Exchange Management Console and Exchange Control Panel for an ugly web interface. More functions and commands need to do now by the Exchange Powershell cmdlet commands instead of a Visual GUI interface.
With this bad numbers and reputacion, Microsoft also puts these ugly OS on the new XBox One, a cloud console developed for a
house living room to show TV, movies, listen music and play games. Initially forced to always connected to Internet, Microsoft was forced to remove that and the kinect due to the poor reception of a console not developed to power games users and
with insuffient power for actual games. Actual sales data compared to Playstation4 shows a bad and dead product like Nokia Phones.
And now, close to year 2015, with all this bad reputation and numbers, Microsoft still continues to force to an ugly, flat and simple OS with apps and cloud. I never use cloud or put my private data on the cloud.
With even more reason never put my company or work data on the cloud.
I do not trust the cloud, and even less
trust in Microsoft. Ads like Scroogled,
make me gain more confidence in Google
and lose even more confidence in Microsoft,
because you need to attack the competition rather than
focus on developing good products.
Instead i got at least the same features on a new OS, i never upgrade.
Less appearance settings. No advanced appearance settings like in Windows 7. No Aero. No Themes. No Customizations options. Only flat and ugly design, with bad and heavy colors that makes eye strained and lack of constrast between areas on the Window of
an application (see Office 2013).
Less Protect System options. No Shadow Copies or Prevoius Versions. File History is unusefull.
Less Network options. No Network map. Less Wi-Fi features. No Bluetooth File sharing.
No desktop games.
General ugly UI without options. I dont like FLAT.
Why change Windows 7 with an OS with less features like Windows 8.x and 10?
The only new is:
Ugly Metro/Modern UI does nobody wants and solicitated this.
Simple apps with ADS that are practically unusefull on desktop PC and more on enterprise.
Cloud!!! Who, in their right mind, puts his own private data on the cloud?
Cloud!!! Who, in their right mind, puts his own company private data on the cloud?
Nobody wants to create a Microsoft Account or use a Store of Simple apps with ADS. Nobody solicitated this but Microsoft wahts to makes money.
Seeing the little progress
and development of new features including
new versions, as
Windows Phone 7 to Windows
Phone 8, Windows
8 to 8.1 and 10 shows the
reducidad capacity and
the current difficulty of
development by Microsoft
counting the numerous
layoffs and closing of
numerous development teams.
Serious and professional developers never develop Windows Store/Metro-Style apps.
They develops .NET, Windows Forms Applications, WPF, MFC, C++, etc. applications.
That is the actual technology that people are using, learning and jobs searching.
And what Microsoft means Modern or actually:
“Windows Store/Phone Projects”
is technology that never wants, nobody asked and needed for.
I never see a decent “Windows Store/Phone Projects” or a rich client app on that technology. I only see garbage, spam, ads and its the better platform for spammers, and people who want to get my money badly and with bad ways.
“Windows Store/Phone Projects” is the best platform for thieves, crooks, swindlers and more.
I never develop to a simply unusefull platform whit limited technologies and a platform in which Microsoft gets 20% of my work.
I want .NET technologies, WPF, Windows Form and to create exe files. For Mobile/Tablet platform i used .apk files that not need a store to distribute them.
I expect from next version of Windows to create local accounts and options to COMPLETITY disable Metro and Windows Store with the restore of removed features like Shadow Copies, Backup and Restore, Aero, Advanced Appearance Settings, Expand All Programs
in Start Menu, Games apps like Solitaire, Mineswipper, Chess Titans, DVD Maker and more removed features. If Microsoft not do this, the next version of Windows continues to be another disaster like Windows 8.x and people stick with Windows XP and 7 in order
to think about migrations to Mac OSX or Linux.
For all who likes and defends the new Microsoft concept, please see the actual Microsoft marketshare in all segments.
Microsoft has to think and open your eyes
and see that from 2010 all
new versions of their products are inferior
products with fewer features,
destroying and killing the product like Windows Mobile, Nokia, Windows, XBox, etc. Microsoft needs to see the marketshare of all this new products and compare with the marketshare of old products.
It is very serious and a lot of attention
today that Windows XP has greater
market share than Windows 8.x for this reason
alone should be enough for Microsoft
to react and change all their wonderful way
of thinking and his philosophy like
"Devices and Services "or the
new" Cloud first,
Mobile First ".
In business, one of the main premises
is that if a product works and sold, do not change it. Microsoft is not only changing Windows, is elimintating the sale of the 50% marketshare of Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate edition. And
more, for more than 2 years, Microsoft is not developing any Service Pack for Windows 7, that is unaceptable. All of this is stupid and idot and the best things to lost confidence and trust on Microsoft.
Microsoft is doing the all things that i can do to kill a company.
Remember those companies, like Coca-Cola, Xerox, etc. that
were about to go bankrupt to change
its philosophy and strategy, which worked
very well, and failed to get up
again until they return to its own strategy and
philosophy of the beginning.

When I open iTunes, it will not allow me to preview or download TV shows. The preview and download options are gray and will not let me view them. I have the latest Quicktime so I don't know what's wrong

When I open iTunes, it will not allow me to preview or download TV shows. The preview and download options are gray and will not let me view them. I have tried installing the latest Quicktime but it tells me that I have to do software update and when I do, Quicktime does not appear to need an update. I have no idea what to do

Click on your preference and check the Parental tab for possible restrictions. Open iTunes, then click the iTunes menu, select preferences after the window opens click on the Parental icon, take a look at the content restrictions section.

Installing Webcam Live! on Windows Vista x64

This will inform all of the poor consumers who bought a camera shortly before vista was released, only to realize that the camera would not work with thier operating system that they would soon update too. I was very frustrated trying to get my "Webcam Live!" to work with windows vista ultimate 64 bit edition so i did some trial and error, trying basically every driver on the site.
step 1: be sure that your camera is unplugged, and you dont have any remnants of other drivers on your system, and download the driver for Windows XP Professional 64 bit located here?http://us.creative.com/support/downl...type=0&x=9&y=7
Step 2: right click the setup?icon and click properties
Step 3: click the "compatibility" tab click "run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select Windows XP (Service pack 2)
Step 4: right click the setup icon and choose "run this program as administrator" proceed with setup. The setup may get hung up, but as long as it gets to 100% before freezing you should still be okay.
Step 5: Plug your camera in?Step6: Open your device driver. In my case the driver installed correctly and that was the last step. you may have to manually install the driver by clicking on the device, clicking update driver, and then point the computer to where it was installed to. this was very frustrating for me to figure out and took me about 2 hours. i hope i saved you some time, good luck.

Maybe you can hel me
Im unable to install itunes 7.0.2 because each time I try to i get an error message saying I have insufficient access to that key...the key being HKEYlocalmachine\software\microsoft windows\...etc, etc. etc...
Can you helP???

Webcam Live Pro causes system crash with Windows XP Home

Ever since installing Webcam Live Pro I have been having random system restarts. This ONLY happens when the webcam is being used. It happens when using the Creative Webcam Center or another application. Sometimes the restart will happen after a few minutes, and other times an hour or more. I am running Windows XP sp2 with all patches, and there are no driver conflicts listed in Device Manager. I have the cam set at 60 hz.
Even though there are no listed driver conflicts in Device Manager, there clearly is a driver conflict that occurs from time to time. I have read of other people having this same problem on this forum with Webcam Live Pro. I am using the driver ...0 which is dated 0//2004, and the automatic update program on this web site says that I am using the latest driver. But in the download section of this web site, the latest driver is listed as .0.0.0 and dated November 9, 2004. The driver numbers or dates do not match, and the driver on the web seems to have an earlier number but a later date!?
Does anyone (especially a Creative tech support person who may be reading this post) have any idea what to do? The driver version is one issue. But the big issue is the system crashes.
Best,
CB

Solution! I discovered the problem causing the system crash, and I think it is sufficiently interesting to note here so that others may benefit from what I discovered. First, there is no fundamental problem/conflict with the driver for Webcam Live Pro. The trouble in my instance is that I was running another program that utilized the web cam, and that program conflicted with the Webcam Live Pro program that was constantly running in the system tray. Basically, the program in the system tray is loaded with the set-up for Webcam Live Pro. It constantly monitors the computer system to see if the cam is connected to the computer. When it does this while another program is using the cam, the conflict occurs, causing the entire computer to reboot. The solution is to right mouse click the icon for Webcam Live Pro in the system tray, go to settings, and to remove the check that allows the program to check for the presence of the web cam. Just to be safe, I then also exited the Webcam Live Pro program from the system tray so that nothing from that program could interfere with my use of the webcam using another program.
The result is that the webcam is rock solid, with no system crashes. I have been running it nonstop for hours without a problem.
I hope this helps someone else.
Best,
CB
