VIEWSONIC VX2255WMB BLACK 22" WIDESCREEN

I have the exact same problem as him.
help?

I think this mean the webcam driver isn't installed. If you look in the devices window I think you'll see it listed with a "!" Installing the webcam utility does not seem to install any drivers - I imagine you must do this yourself.

I have just bought the same monitor but didn't get the drivers disk with it. Annoyingly the webcam drivers are not on the Viewsonic website and I'm not having much luck with their support desk. The webcam utility is there, but that doesn't include the drivers.

Does anybody here have a copy of the driver they could post or email me?

Thanks,

Alphie

Hi

I had the same problem (w/ the 'turn on the camera' error popping up) awhile ago but my webcam is working now.

Aside from installing the Viewsonic driver and the camera utility program you have to close your PC and monitor first- then plug in the video cable that came with the VX2255wm monitor. It's the smaller one with the squarish tip. As of now, I have 4 cables attached to my LCD: 1) The cable connecting the monitor to the main power outlet, 2) The cable connecting the monitor to the CPU, 3) The cable for the sounds and 4) and the video cable.

Once video cable is connected, turn on the PC again and try taking a snap. It should work na...

Hope this helps. I guess the video cable is kind of easy to overlook since it's small...and the manual should probably emphasize the need to connect this for the camera to work. Even the user guide should.
