any one knows???
pleace help!!! :(

Try Manycam and see if it works with Unbuntu. Go to www.google.com and in the search box type: "download cnet" (without the quotes) and go to their site. Look down on the left and you will see a gray box that says find software. Type in: "Manycam" (without the quotes) and go download and install it. It's absolutely free, no trial period and it comes with application and I think driver. Give it a try. Be sure not to accept any buggy stuff that it will ask you during the install.

Install an webcam viewer software and install it.

That camera was made in 2006 and the only driver I could find was for (at best) XP.
f you want to try it go to the address below:
(it is an autostart download page)

Seems like you will need to get your hands on a restore disk or windows installation cd for the version you have.

You will need to either restore the computer to the original state or install a fresh installation of windows from the setup cd, after that you need to get the drivers for the computer from medion support.

The drivers on Medion's USA website.

solution for XP users.
Use the medion driver (MD85081). go to their support pages and search for "webcam". http://www.medion.co.uk/
Once the driver is downloaded, remove the camera if connected.
DON'T CONNECT THE CAMERA BEFORE INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE!
Extract the software (default is c:/Medion folder),
Install the software.
Now you can connect the camera and it will acknowledge it.
Use the start/PC-30/Amcam program to test it. (use Amcam/Devices menu to select the camera)
Good Luck. AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

THE SOLUTION!!!!!!

1. Press start button.
2. In the "serch programs and files" tab typen in youcam. This will open up the webcam.
3. Once it is opened it will create a temporary icon on the task bar at the bottom of you desktop.
4. Click on this icon and you will have an option to pin it to the program to the taskbar, select this option and you will be able to easily start the launch of the program at any time.

Note: I really do not understand when Medion have not put direction for the webcam in the instruction manual!!!!!

Hope this helps,
