• Uninstall and reinstall the driver. To uninstall the driver, click Start

>Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, select MyLife Notebook

Webcam and click Change/Remove.

Video stutters or stops

• Disconnect and reconnect the webcam.

• Ensure the webcam is connected to a USB 2.0 port (not a slower USB 1.1

port).

Microphone isn’t working

The cause of a Web Cam's microphone to stop working can be either a

hardware issue or a result from incorrect configurations.

Recommendations:

• Determine whether it is a hardware problem by testing the microphone in

Sound Recorder.

• We also recommend using the camera on another USB enabled system.

• If you can record sound in Sound Recorder, but not in the Webcam

application, try setting the internal microphone as the preferred device in

Audio Properties.

Product operating tips

• Your webcam operates best if you sit about 3 ft. (1 m) from the camera.

This ensures the picture is not distorted and that the microphone can

easily pick up your voice.

• Turn the ring on the front of the webcam to manually focus the image.

• Press the button on top of the webcam to take a still shot.

• Click Extras > Help in ArcSoft MediaImpression for more details on how to

use the application with your webcam
