Re: WebCam for Windows Media Center PC

Don't you just love computers. Anyways I went the Creative way. I got
a USB web cam and it work just fine. I am boggled that Logitech would
not support an OS and that from my conversation with them was required
to find this out.

Go Creative.

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.
