There is an option in the Webcam properties for black and white.

1. Open the Webcam program.
2. Top right corner of the window click the "down arrow" button next to the minimize and maximize button.
3. Select "Properties"
4. On the right side of the window, under the heading "Extra Control", make sure there is no check in the box.

Hope this helps.

Olevia tv shows nothing but black and white color how do i fix it

Black and white like no color, what does black and white color mean?? not sure what you mean
tip

Webcam only shows black & white in Windows 8

Note: I have Logitech webcams but since this is a Windows fix it will probably work with any brand that is having similar problems:
I recently upgraded my PC to Windows 8.1 and discovered that my two Logitech webcams would only display black & white (although snapshots were in color). I tried all of Logitech's advice but nothing worked. The Solution: Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the .exe file in the Logitech folder (in my case the path is (C) / Program Files (x86) / Logitech / LWS / Webcam Software / LWS.exe). Right-click the file and choose "Properties". Click on "Compatibility" and choose "Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows 8". Restart your webcam software and it should now have color. (PS: The system may sometimes default to the original settings, so you may need to repeat the above to get your color back.)

I have this thinkpad sl410 laptop. i have installed windows XP sp3 on this. There is a issue with the webcam. The webcam is running, but the color if the video its hows is really almost black and...

Always get your drivers from the manufacturer of your Laptop, Notebook or Desktop.

If you were to log on to the manufacturer's web site, usually one is able to download if available, by model number, All available Driver downloads as required.

If the driver is not available, perhaps your manufacturer does not support the OS you are installing.

This is the best way of ensuring up to date drivers for your system and they are free of charge!

There are no XP drivers to be found with Microsoft as XP is no longer supported.

Some manufacturers may have a limited number of Drivers still listed.

I hope this helps and good luck with your XP driver.

My Super Nintendo is showing up with black and white colors. It plays fine there is just no color, only black and white. Is it fixable?

Depending on the age or your television, this could be a simple fix. Newer TVs seem to be unable to translate the simple video colors from the Super Nintendo and thus render them in black and white. Try using an older TV.

Can only get black and white

1. Download and run a utility from Microsoft called AmCap. 2. Run it and select your webcam from the Devices menu. Verify the webcam output is visible. 3. Go the the Options menu and select Video Capture Filter. 4. Make sure that the Color Enable checkbox is checked, and the Saturation slider is in the middle. Or just click on Restore defaults. Hope that helps.
