I got me an
Xbox Live vision camera, to go with the
Xbox 360, but more interestingly to use it as a PC web cam. So far it's been great, apart from one big issue.
Initially I plugged it into the PC, and tried it with Skype, and MSN Messenger. Worked perfectly, no troubles at all. Then I tried it in the Xbox360, where it also worked flawlessly.
However, upon returning it to the PC, it decided not to work. Plug in, hear the 'something has just been inserted into the USB port' noise, but nothing more than that. When trying to use the camera for other programs, it now doesn't report as installed at all. The only place I can find any mention of it, is in the Device Manager, under USB Device Controllers, as "Microsoft Xbox 360 Live Vision Camera".
Yes, I have tried rebooting.
Yes, I have tried plugging it into the same USB port as before, and then other ones.
Yes, I have uninstalled the device from the Device Manager.
Yes, I have uninstalled the camera from the Device Manager, and rebooted, and tried again.
The only sign of life is after an uninstall from the Device Manager, and plugging it back in, the little balloon pops up and tells me it has detected the correct camera.
The very first time I installed it, it did not call it a camera, it called it something with the word SECURITY in it. But it DID work. I don't know if that is an issue or not, as I assumed it was because as soon as you do plug it into the computer you need an update from Microsoft.
I am open to suggestion at this time, and anyone that gets it right, wins a total and utter crushing victory on Uno against yours truly. Not saying that
Right click MY COMPUTER
Select the HARDWARE tab
click DEVICE MANAGER
