Re: MSFT VX6000 Lifecam not showing in "Scanners & Cameras"

Oh, THAT Control Panel view. Never use it, to many clicks to get to what I
want. I use Classic view, and have Control Panel as a menu on my Start Menu.

My Logitech webcam also does not appear there and cannot be added. It must be
only useful for handheld digital cameras not webcams.
