pigeonfisher Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 we have gone through two web cams that don't really work on our computer. Either the camera works and not the microphone or vice-versa. Does anyone have any good success stories with these things? Are they all lemons? We run windows XP and that is all I know.

ChrisK Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Yup,got the same problemo...Camera/mike seems to work when I test it but then I go to MSN the mike portion doesn't seem to kick in....So,I turn off the mike on the webcam and use a head set with a mike when I'm on MSN instead....I'm also running XP Cheers !!

Tdel Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I am using a Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX and I don't have any complaints. Takes great video and it is easy to send video as an email. Sometimes my window locks up but that is only when I use full screen viewing(Full Screen Picture). I am fairly sure that all I need to do is add more memory to my computer to solve that problem. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danc Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I have a Logitech cheapie that's probably 6 or 7 years old. It's worked fine with several different computers and operating systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mepps Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I've always used logitech or Creative - never had trouble, sometimes you gotta shell out a few more bucks to make sure you get a good one. My last one was 99$ Make sure you donwload the lates software for your caam before using it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
