orbi cam problem

Hi,

I have an Acer Aspire 5101a wlmi and windows xp, I really need help with this. My orbicam stopped working, the computer doesn't even detect a cam anymore. The problem is that I started the cam on two different places at the same time.. on msn and via the webcam program.. the system didn't like this, and it gave me a bluescreen. When I restarted the cam was gone. I've tried re-installing the drivers.. but this didn't help since the system can't detect a camera. This happened once before, and my solution then was to reformat the system.. But I don't want to reformat again.. please help

 

and have you tried looking in device manager ?
can you see it any where on the system ?
strange.will try out what you did and get back to you.

 

right just did what you said gave you trouble and all i got was "device being used by another programme".Hmm
do you have the right drivers.mine is using the Bison bar software and drivers.i have the low res orbicam.

 

Okay, thanks for your help. But something weird just happened.. the cam is working again! I'm not sure why, might have something to do with installing my other cam since the orbicam wasn't working.

 

can u actually record a video wif the cam ?

 

yes you can,but i only used windows movie maker to try it out.
if you find any other software for making movies using the orbicam.let us know
