Troubleshooting
Install step missed
USB ports not enabled in the BIOS
Conflict with another camera driver capture device
Ulead Photo Express SE
Ulead Systems Photo Express SE
- Most of the problems associated with using the
camera have to do with the fact that the end-user accidentally skips a step
during installation. Solution: Uninstall the camera, and reinstall it, making
sure to follow each step of the Quick Install Guide.
- Even after following the Quick Install
Guide completely, the camera still does not work. Go into the Device
Manager and see if a section called "Imaging Devices" is listed. If this
section does not exist, check the "Sound, Video, and Game Controllers"
section to see if the camera is listed there. If it is, then the problem is that
the USB ports are not enabled in your BIOS. You need to enter BIOS and
enable them. Then you need to uninstall and reinstall the camera in order to
use it.
- If you have any
other camera installed on your computer, remove the camera and it's driver
completely from your system to avoid a driver conflict with another camera
or capture device.
