webcam help

Post by edgecrusher »

Alright guys, I need some help.

Bought a Logitech c615 webcam. Installed it and the software/drivers as it asks. In the test page it works fine. When I start the software, I get no video ( light turns on the cam to say its active ) but I get audio only. In the device manager it says its all good and the drivers are up to date

I've installed and reinstalled and nothing. I have Windows 7, I'm guessing the software is clashing with something.

any ideas or hints? Thanks for any help in advance

You've got to enter your credit card details or you'll only get a looping preview of the cam girl/guy.

Motherboard is ASRock Z68 Extreme 4 Gen3

anything else I am missing? Computer would be only 3 yrs old.

Would I need to install a driver from the CD that come with the motherboard?

Mine says it's installed and the driver is fine but for some reason when ever I turned on the camera in Skype the image was upside down. At first I thought it was because I was in Australia, the land down under as I bought the laptop there, but then it did the same thing in NZ and here in UK.

Apparently the only way to fix it was to roll the driver back but that being impossible as I only had one driver the other option was to run a virtual cam system. I use the trial version of http://www.manycam.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and in the config of Skype I chose minicam as my webcam instead of the usb 2.0 option. Voila.

Might be worth a try.
