Windows Vista Home Premium installed. I have installed the new Microsoft
LifeCam software 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows Vista as advised, but
the Problem Reports & Solutions keeps advising I need to get the Lifecam
update from the Microsot website. I have already done this, but for some
reason it does not register. and my webcam does not funtion. I purchased this
product thinking a microsoft hardware product would have no conflicts with
microsoft o/s or software.

I am having similar problems.

I can install the LifeCam 1.3 software, but when I plug the camera in as
prompted get an error message:

"Device driver software was not successfully installed
Please consult with your device manufacturer for assistance getting this
device installed.
Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000 Ready to use
Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000 Failed"

If I open the LifeCam software, I can get the video to work but not the
microphone.

***I would appreciate a response from somebody at Microsoft on this issue,
since they have apparently decided NOT to offer any free technical support
for this device. I refuse to pay $35 for support....it seems to me that
Microsoft should be ensure that the products it sells are compatible with
Windows Vista, or at least offer ANYTHING on their support web site dealing
with this topic.

If I do not receive a prompt response, I will return my product and buy from
a competitor....I am definitely LESS likely to ever buy a Microsoft hardware
product again.***
