    LifeFrame 3 and built-in cam

    My ASUS G50-VT laptop has a built-in USB 2.0 1.3M UVC WebCam. The webcam works with messengers, SmartLogin, etc. However, when I open LifeFrame 3, it shows a gray screen and says "0x0" as the resolution at the top-left ( attachment: grayscreen.jpg).

    I've attempted to update the drivers, but it consistently insists that they are up-to-date. LifeFrame's Advanced Settings used to show my built-in webcam, but now the drop-down is completely empty ( attachment: advancedsettings.jpg).

    Why did LifeFrame stop working? Has it stopped detecting my webcam?
    Please help! Thanks in advance.

    I don't see any attachments.

    Lifeframe is known to be buggy. If your webcam works with other programs, then there's nothing wrong with the hardware. I would recommend uninstalling Lifeframe if you can do without it.

    What is the purpose that you are using LifeFrame for?
