Once disconnected Lifecam works only after restarting the comp

I have a Windows Vista System and I just bought a LifeCam Vx-3000. When I start the system with the webcam plugged in the USB port, the webcam prompts me to set up the microphone and speaker levels. I can then use it on Yahoo Messenger.
However, when I click the webcam icon on the taskbar, the webcam gets disconnected and after that the messenger is not able to detect the webcam. The messenger detects the webcam only after restarting the computer.

Do a cam/mic test in the audio/video settings in the tools tab in yahoo. Then you need to minimise the yahoo screen and right click on the cam icon in the taskbar and check that the mic and cam are enabled and that it is set to allow other programes to take control of this device

How can i install my webcam (microsoft VX-3000) if i lost the CD ?

Hi there,
You can still download the drivers from the links below for your windows
For Windows 7 LifeCam 3.2 32-bit and 64-bit for Windows 7
For Windows XP (32-Bit) LifeCam 3.2 32-bit for Windows XP SP2 or higher (excluding 64-bit)
For Windows XP (64-Bit) LifeCam 2.04 for Windows XP 64-bit
Download the drivers, unplug the camera from the computer and run the setup Lifecam3.22.exe, Install the drivers and follow on-screen instruction, Within the setup it might will prompt you to plug in the camera, connect the camera and the drivers will be loaded automatically and you will need to restart your computer once,
If you require more assistance, feel free to reply to this post
Thanks For Asking FixYa! Regards-BA
