Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I have just bought a Buffalo BWC-35H01 webcam. I have installed the software correctly but when I go to turn on the camera all I get is a black screen. There is no cap or stupid stuff like that and I have tried fiddling with the brightness settings etc all to no avail. Any other ideas? Link to post Share on other sites
SerreChe 2 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 if u have vista may not be compatible. I had a similar problem with a logitech webcam. Best do a google search on the topic & hopefully get an answer, or ask manufacturer on their site directly. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 I do have Vista but there is a label on the box saying its Vista compatible, i made sure about that. I7m gonna have to get my gf phone the company and see what they say. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 thats what I was wanting, but it didn't happen that way, and then the added bonus of decoding a Japanese OS also slowed me down, but I eventually got it. Link to post Share on other sites
TomatoThrower 0 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Same here. The problem was the mike and skype not being very friendly with it. I have to manually set it every time I turn on the pc now. Any amazing suggestions most welcome. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I have a good suggestion but I might get tomatoes thrown at me so I'll refrain.. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 sorry mate I'm quite computer illiterate. Had to get a mate round to fanny about with it before it worked, but it works fine for me now Link to post Share on other sites
