Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000  Webcam

Driver not recognised (by 6 users)

posted by hairpulling on Nov 10, 2007


I have a Microsoft Lifecam VX6000 which was working perfectly fine until I did a Windows update on it. I believe it was the SP2 that was downloaded. I have tried to uninstall > reinstall, however it picks it up as a USB20 camera and when I specify the location for the driver, it states that the necessary software cannot be found. I have tried to install it from the CD as well as downloading the latest driver update from the Microsoft website. I used to have a Logitech Quickcam Express Cam (I heard that this may be what is affecting the functionality of my webcam since the SP2 update).

I have a Microsoft Lifecam VX6000 which was working perfectly fine until I turned on my pc today. It shows a new hardware found and it picks up a USB20 camera. I tried to intall it from the CD and when I specify the location for the driver to update the device, it states that the necessary software cannot be found. Where can i go to update this driver ? Or what else can be done to fix this problem?

Thanks in advice for you Help!

Usually, I have seen with most USB webcam, they want you to only plug in your webcam after the software ask you to plug in the webcam. If this is the case, uninstall and reinstall (but, do not plug in webcam until the software tells you to).
