The manufacturer would be the place to try.

The manufacterer is Genius, www.geniusnet.com and there are not available
drivers for Vista at their site for any webcam. The thing is that I used an
older Genius webcam with Vista withouth Vista drivers because they aren't
available, and it worked perfectly...

Does the webcam show up in device manager under imaging devices? If it does,
it can be used with MSN Messenger and with Live Messenger. Go to Tools |
Audio Video Tuning Wizard and follow the steps.

If you want to use it anywhere else you will need the manufacturers
software.

I can't use it with Messenger, it doesn't find any webcams, or a mic.

Get a webcam that is supported by the manufacturer that will work in Vista.

Problem with Webcam
Posted: 10-17-2007, 09:19 PM
Hi! I just recently purchased a webcam that said it was Windows Vista
compatible however once I got it and installed it when I try to use it I get
nothing but a black screen, no picture and no sound. Device manager shows
that it is working properly.
The camera name is VIMICRO USB PC CAMERA {VC0303} , my operating system is
Windows Vista Home Premium. Is there a driver or something I was supposed to
install pr some settings I need to configure? Thank you so much!

I have the VC301 and I used to have same problem like yours with my Vista
Ultimate. Try this: 1)install the driver first(don't let the computer search
for the driver). 2)boot up the computer, then connect the webcam and let the
computer search for the driver.

If it still doesn't work, go to device manager and unintall/install the
driver again.
It should work this way. Good Luck!
