Microsoft LifeCam VX-1000 Webcam Logo
Anonymous Posted on Mar 24, 2010

How do I install my software? every time I insert the software disk for my LifeCam Vx-1000 it says I'm either not connected to the internet(which I am) or the server is unavaible. I've been trying for the past week but I keep getting the same message.

    I downloaded the driver and I'm still getting the same message when I go to install "Setup cannot continue because you are not connected to the internet or the server is unavailable. Connect to the internet and then run Setup again. During the Set up process, accept any related security or firewall messages. If this is unsuccessful, please try again later."

    I keep getting the same problem even with the new driver.

    Solution 2 didn't work either. Every time I try to download it, it says "Internet Explorer cannot connect with microsoft.com/download". I tried using another browser but it still wont let me connect to microsoft, which I think is why I can't install my software from the start.

    Alright, alright, these solutions are starting to go the wrong way here haha. Let me explain my -problem- a little more clearly here. For some odd reason I cannot connect to the microsoft website, and for me to install the software or use the drivers I need to be able to connect. It's not just this, I couldn't even download Internet Explorer off the microsoft website because it wouldn't allow me to connect. I had to go rip it off some other website.
    Btw Solution 3 didn't work either, I tried several times. But thanks for trying =)

    Thank you~

    Are you able to connect to any websites? If so you should have no problem going to microsoft.com. If you do you may need to go into CMD and try pinging and ipconfig /release and /renew
    thank you,

Hello,

before you install the software,make sure you don't insert the Life Cam into your system yet. It is after you have installed the software on your computer that you can then fix the Life Cam.

So, restart your system, wait for the system to boot, after then, install the software of your Life cam on your computer. After the software installation, you can then fix your Life cam into your computer and it will install the Life cam since the software has been installed and that's all.

So try it again and let's see what happens next.

Good luck.

    I have lost the disk for installing lifecam vx-1000. found software on microsoft's site but get error message when it starts to install that it is not microsoft signed. Please help

    It's ok, to use software that isn't microsoft signed all of the time, especially on drivers for webcams or printers.

    Many manufacturers, including Microsoft, don't digitally sign all of their peripheral drivers.
