Troubleshooting

Install step missed - Most of the problems associated with using the camera have to do with the fact that the end-user accidentally skipped a step during installation. Solution: Uninstall the camera, and reinstall it, making sure to follow each step of the Quick Install Guide. USB ports not enabled in the BIOS - Even after following the Quick Install Guide completely, the camera still will 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 will need to enter BIOS and enable them. Then you will need to uninstall and reinstall the camera in order to use it. Conflict with another camera driver capture device - 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.
