a £450 webcam? u mean a video camera?
not all videocameras can be used as a webcam. they often need special software.

its a DV camera, it saiys in the manual that it is webcam compatible tho..
RE: HELP PLZ - Webcam by bach_m on 08-17-2004 at 01:12 PM
i hope thats not the only reason u bought it, tho.
then it should probably give instructions on how to make those functions work. maybe poke around the website of the manufacturere

Did you install the drivers for it? Look at their site, if you can't find it there then look for a CD you got together with the cam.

I had this problem with my webcam...
Have you (since you installed the drivers) disconnected the camera from the USB port... Because that sometimes can automatically Uninstall the drivers.(well it did for me)

I had this problem. Make sure you are using the company's drivers, and not the default webcam ones that come with Windows. Worked for me

JVC usually is pretty good stuff, Have you checked there website for updated drivers?
RE: HELP PLZ - Webcam by Brox187 on 04-24-2005 at 04:22 AM
Well it's only messenger that it won't work with.
I didn't know JVC owned Trust.
