    well, I decided to play with my webcam today... and found an issue.

    So.. FN+F10... sound goes off. I click on start... programs... USB 2.0 PC camera... Video View...

    then BAM

    [​IMG]

    The VideoView box is opened on the top left corner of the screen... but can't click on bc of that error box... so I hit okay...

    then... I can see myself!! in the video view box! So the camera works.. nicely too if I may add... but guess what happens...

    [​IMG]

    again!

    you click okay... it closes video view....

    So I open it up again... same thing... Error... hit okay... *wave*... error.

    this time I leave it alone... I then try pressing File Devices Options Capture or Help... then I get

    [​IMG]

    again!

    so now there are 2 boxes up on my screen. When I hit okay on the 2nd one (the one that popped up after trying to click on one of the tabs) nothing happens... but of course... when I hit the first Error box... video view goes bye bye again.

    *sigh*

    any advice?

    You can thank .Vista's UAC and driver signing for that.

    disable UAC and driver signing to get past those annoying messages.

    yes yes... I googled it after the post.

    I did both... disabled UAC and did a method of disabling driver signing (through cmd prompt *bcdedit loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_ something like that..) and still no go >.<

    go to the Sager driver downloads, and install those drivers now... since you disabled driver signing.

    Hey, I seem to be having this EXACT same problem in Windows 7 RC x64. I followed the given steps, but it still does not work. Anyone have an idea?
