Labtec Web Camera

Ace

I just got a Labtec Webcam and it doesn't work. The instructions tell me to install the software first and during this process, the driver seems to install as well. It rebooted and told me to plug in the camera.

I have recently lost the motherboard and have replaced it in my windows 2K pro box. Since the motherboard replacement, Windows will get to the end of its startup screen, then will reboot no matter if I am going into safe mode or not.

Video Overlay problems in Win2K3

lordbelial

Im running Windows Server 2003 and whenever I try to play movies divx/xvid/whatever all I get is either a grey screen or inverted colors in the movie. The only way Ive found to fix this is to use a media player that allows you to change the overlay from Overlay Mixer to Extended VMR9(DirectX9).
