By george-pie on Dec 16, 2008
OS: Windows Vista 32
Webcam: Logitech QuickCam Communicate MP
Logitech Software Version: 11.80
Thiswebcam worked fine when it was first installed. Within the first coupleweeks, I began having the problem of seeing a black screen instead of avideo image, with both the logitech software and Yahoo Messenger. A fewtimes, this problem was fixed, by restarting computer, and once byending all related processes in Task Manager, then restarting Logitechsoftware.
Currently, I am only seeing the black screen, andcannot get a video image. I did uninstall all Logitech software,restart the computer, and reinstall Logitech software. The problempersists. I have not received any error messages at any time relatingto this problem. The camera appears to work fine; however, it only shows black.

- Thank you for this very detailed response. I tried the steps you suggested, but they did not help figure out my problem. The amcap application crashed every time I clicked "video capture pin." I checked my DirectX version, and it is version 10.The strange and partially frustrating thing is that now my webcam appears to be working fine. I guess it is an intermittent problem. I called Logitech support, who told me they can't diagnose a problem while the camera is working. They suggested I call back when it is not working, to see if there might be a conflict with other software that is running at the time.
Thanks again, and good luck to others with this problem.

- Either one of these image sizes:
- Small image size: 160 x 120
- Large image size: 320 x 240
- RGB, I420, or IYUV formats. (Each is fine; we recommend RGB 24.)
- Microsoft DirectX version 9.0
To make it easy, when you’re asked where to Save the program, just save it on your Desktop.
Once it’s downloaded, here’s what to do:
- Double-click the amcap.exe file on your desktop.
- If you have more than one webcam installed, click the Devices menu and select the one you want to use.
- Click the Options menu, then click “Video capture Pin.”
- Under “Color Space/Compression:”, choose one of the following formats:
- RGB 24 (our recommendation)
- I420
- IYUV
- Under “Output Size”, choose one of the following:
- 160 x 120
- 320 x 240
- Click OK
- Close the ampcap application.
- From your desktop, click ‘Start’ and select ‘Run’.
- In the run box, type: dxdiag
- In the confirmation dialog box, click OK.
- On the System Tab under ‘System Information’, look for DirectXversion. Verify that your version is DirectX 9.0. If it is, just click Exit. If your version is older than 9.0 (any lower number), click here to download the latest version of DirectX.
- Start the webcam from Messenger by clicking My Webcam in the Messenger menu.
Some Logitech webcam drivers may cause one of the following problems:
- Windows freezes when accessing the webcam
- A black screen appears when using the webcam in Messenger
- A ‘Webcam not found’ error message appears.
- After 3 seconds, the sound drops out of calls made via Messenger
