This problem is not fixed through the settings of your Creative device but by selecting the right webcamin your messaging software.
When you install your Creative Camera it installs the physical Camera as well as a virtual Camera. So there are actually 2 (or more Camera's installed). The Avatar plays through the virtual Camera.
Whatever programme you are using (MSN or SKYPE etc) you need to select the correct video Camera.
So, for example in MSN messenger, select Tools, Audio Video Setup and select your camera from the list (make sure the Virtual camera is not selected).
To be even clearer as an example: If you are using a LiveCam Notebook Ultra 3 camera, you will see the following listed as cameras when you go to select a webcam to use within your messaging software :
Live! Cam Ultra Notebook #3 -- this is your normal camera
Live! Cam Virtual -- this us the Avatar etc camera,
Live! Cam Ultra Notebook Ultra (VFW) -- this is your widescreen camera
Just select the right one!
Yes at the options menu
How do i turn the green light off from the webcam i cant switch it off
Of course you can , you install the new webcam , and you choose from device manager the new installed webcam to be your primary.
make sure you haven't turned it off!! by clicking 'fn' and 'F10' that can turn your webcam on/off:)
make sher you shut off your webcam after you use it
You stop using any application that is using the webcam.
If your computer does not detect a webcam in the computer. It will automatically turn the computer off.
You are better off buying what you need off the dell website.
put a piece of electrical tape over it. works like a charm
Phillips makes a webcam that has 6 megapixles.
I have a logitech c500 and this was happening with my webcam, all answers I found were wrong, so if you have this problem repost this answer. You have to turn off logitechs "RIGHT LIGHT" or similar software setting, im using skype with the webcam so i went into tools/optinos/video settings/webcam settings and turned it off!! good luck!
