Vista SP1 mit der Logitech Quickcam Messenger

Hallo liebe User!!! Ich habe eine Quickcam Messenger von Logitech und würde die gerne in Verbindung mit Vista nutzten, jedoch scheint es dabei Probleme zu geben! Ich habe es mit den XP Treibern probiert was auch gut klappt, bis auf das das das interne Mikrofon nicht funktioniert. jedoch würde ich dies auch gerne noch zum laufen bringen, vorallendingen jetzt, wo schon mal die Kamera funktioniert. Vielleicht weiß ja jemand wie das funktioniert! Habe schon Vista mit SP1. Hoffe da lässt sich was machen!!!
Ich danke schon mal für die Antworten!!!!
MFG Marc

 

Du Glücklicher,
ich bekomme nicht mal die Camera zum Laufen. Habe eine CD mit den Treibern für XP (8.4.x). Nur nachdem ich die unter Vista installiere, findet sie Vista anschließend nicht mehr, um das Gerät zu erkennen.
Auch die dateisuche in Vista ist je für die Füße. Wenn ich *.inf eingebe erhalte ich längst nicht alle dateien, die so enden... sehr merkwürdig???
Ich weiß nicht mehr weiter... :-(
Kann mir jemand helfen?
Gruß
Christian

 

Weiß denn niemand darauf eine Antwort???

Schade... :-(

 

Ja, funktioniert nicht.

Vista findet keinen Treiber für das Gerät. Die x64 Variante von der Logitech Webseite lässt sich installieren, Vista findet trotzdem keinen Treiber.

Ist echt zum Verzweifeln...

Aber Danke.

 

Genau den meinte ich mit x64 Version. Er installiert sich, aber Vista findet trotzdem keinen Treiber, wenn ich anschließend die Camera rein stecke.

 

Stimmt, ich habe die Home Premium 64 Bit Version.

Im Gerätemanager steht sie einfach nur als Camera.

 

Ich habe eine QuickCam® Messenger, aber wo fine dich denn die (P/N) Nummer?

 

Ok, gerade gefunden. Auf einem Aufkleber am Stecker... Die Nummer ist eine, die nicht von Vista unterstützt wird (861206)

Das wars ja wohl dann. :-(

Aber vielen Dank für Deine Hilfe und die Klarheit. :-)

 

Trick to Use Logitech QuickCam Messenger in Windows Vista

Officially, older batch and most of the Logitech QuickCam Messenger is not supported and not compatible with Windows Vista, although you may misleading believe otherwise as QuickCam 10.5 software supports Vista is provided for free download. However, in most of the case, except Logitech QuickCam Messenger with P/N no. of 861225 and USB/PID of 08DA will fail in installation during the webcam setup, where Vista unable to detect the webcam even though you have inserted the webcam.

On the other hand, using Windows Vista Add Hardware Wizard will not detect any driver for the webcam, even though you have extracted the driver files from the executables, no matter the Wizard search automatically online and locally or been asked to browse and locate the software drivers on the unpacked location.

In addition, Problem Reports and Solutions applet may appear after the failed driver installation for Logitech QuickCam Messenger with the following message:

Windows Vista does not support Logitech QuickCam Messenger

This problem was caused by a compatibility issue between Windows Vista and Logitech QuickCam Messenger.

Logitech QuickCam Messenger was created by Logitech, Inc..

Recommendation
—————-
To search for similar devices that are compatible with this version of Windows, visit the Windows Vista Hardware Compatibility List website online.

However, it’s not totally out of hope for owner of Logitech QuickCam Messenger who has upgraded to Windows Vista. The following hack will use Windows XP driver (a common trick to use non Vista compliant device) to install the webcam in Vista:

1. Download QuickCam 8.4.8 with driver for WinXP.
2. Install WinRAR if not already installed yet.
3. Open the setup installer qc848enu.exe and unpack its contents to a folder. Alternatively, right click on qc848enu.exe and select “Extract to qc848enu\” option.
4. Insert or plug in the Logitech QuickCam Messenger to a USB port if not already done so.
5. An “Driver Software Installation” icon in systray (notification area) should appear, which will pop up detailed message if click. It should fail, and “Add Hardware Wizard” dialog window will appear. Choose to install the driver manually by instructing the Wizard to locate and look for the web cam driver inside the Drivers folder under the unpacked folder of the qc848enu.exe setup program. You can use browser button to select the folder.
6. Windows Vista should grab the XP driver and install it properly.
7. Download the latest version (10.5.1) of Vista compliant QuickCam software from Logitech to install the software on Vista.
8. Run the setup (qc1051enu) normally. You may need to skip the detection of webcam near the end of installation process.

Update: Fix for Logitech Quickcam in Windows Vista SP1.

Voila, you can now use the Logitech webcam to capture images or use it in conjunction with video chat in IM programs such as Windows Live (MSN) Messenger, AIM Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, Skype or run Logitech VideoCall.

This hack may work on other Logitech QuickCams that doesn’t yet or will never support Windows Vista too, such as Logitech QuickCam Zoom Silver, QuickCam Notebooks Deluxe, QuickCam Express, QuickCam Chat, Quickcam Orbit/Sphere, Quickcam Pro 4000, QuickCam Orbit MP, QuickCam Chat and etc. However it’s not tested. If you willing to try out and feedback is appreciated.

 

Logitech, one of the leading webcam manufacturer as QuickCam series, has made a decision that left thousands, if not tens of thousands of customers in the cold, by deciding that older models of their web camera, such as Logitech QuickCam Messenger, Zoom, Chat, IM and Express, does not support Windows Vista, and the driver provided for download is incompatible and not compliant, and thus users unable to install and use the Logitech QuickCam webcam.

There is a trick to use XP driver in Vista to make unsupported Logitech QuickCam works. However, with the release of Windows Vista SP1, the trick comes out with new error. After installing Windows Vista SP1, for some users who have use the XP driver trick to use the unsupported Logitech device, or attempt to install XP driver for Logitech webcam, the following error message will appear:

The device can not be started.

And the microphone attached on the QuickCam no longer works, where the system cannot capture or hear any sound via mic on the webcam.

Switching to install higher version of drivers does not help either to solve the problem. And thanks to reader Luis, a workaround solution has been found to fix the error.

The cause of the Logitech QuickCam webcam error on Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 (SP1) is USB audio class driver, USBaudio.sys, which has been updated in SP1. To solve the problem that the Logitech QuickCam Messenger, Zoom, Chat, IM, Express and other unsupported webcam model cannot be used in Windows Vista SP1, one workaround solution is to ‘downgrade’ the USBaudio.sys driver file located in \Windows\System32\drivers folder to older RTM version.

If you haven’t remove the backup RTM files that saved by SP1 setup installer, there is a backup copy of USBaudio.sys version 6.0.6000.16386 in \Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\wdma_usb.inf_9ce240de folder. However, in normal running computer, the file is always in use, and thus locked and cannot be deleted nor moved while system is running. Use the trick below to copy and swap back to old version of the file.

1. Take ownership and grant full access permission of \Windows\System32\drivers\USBAUDIO.SYS file.
2. Insert Vista DVD into DVD-ROM drive to boot up into Vista Sytem Recovery Console and open command prompt.
3. In the command prompt window, issue the following commands one by one, follow by Enter key each time. The commands are assuming that the system drive (where Windows Vista is installed) is C:\ drive. If your root system drive is different, change accordingly.

ren C:\Windows\System32\drivers\USBAUDIO.sys USBAUDIO.sys.original

copy C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\wdma_usb.inf_9ce240de\USBAUDIO.sys C:\Windows\System32\drivers\ /y
4. Restart the computer. The Logitech QuickCam camera should work properly without error.

If you’re running dual boot system, or have a boot CD or boot disk supporting NTFS system, it’s possible to boot from other operating system (so that the Vista system is not running and not locking the USBAUDIO.sys file), and overwrite the driver with older RTM version of it.
