Re: WebCam for Windows Media Center PC

Hello.

the exact same thing happened to me today. I have a HP Pavillion Media
Center that was presinstalled with Windows XP Media Center edition. I
could have had the home edition but I said what the heck, I'll take
the Media Center edition.

I have no clue what the difference is between Windows XP and windows
xp media center edition. Is there a difference?

I used to have Windows ME but that was horrible so a few months ago I
got this nice new pavillion. Works just fine. I do the itunes thing.

I purchased a logitech webcam communicate the same time I got the HP
pavillion. Installed with no problem. Been using it for 5 months now.

Today, I kept getting error messages. I called up logitech and I was
told "oh you got it to work for 5 months, really, we don't support
Windows XP media center edition".

I replied "now you tell me this?" He emailed me instructions to do a
clean boot (whatever the heck that is". I did exactly what he said. At
first everything worked except I had no sound on any videos I created
with the webcam. All of a sudden, I got my sound back so right now
everything works fine.

I do not understand how something can work for 5 months and not work
and then work again. Drives me bonkers!!!!

So if this happens again, what kind of webcam do I buy?

Just wanted to share my story.
