PPC2 stands for Parallel Port Camera 2, which is the creative labs webcam II (there is an usb version too), so download the right driver from that site, it should work.

In case it doesn't, here are a few more links (not sure what model you got)

let me know if it worked, good luck

hey,

go to http://www.americas.creative.com/support/w....asp?centric=38

select "Download DRIVERS" in the menu on the right hand side, once you click that, it will ask you which OS you have. Good luck.

They also have the software online, hopefully the installation will go more smoothly. Let me know if you are still having problems.

i've already tried that... the latest drivers they have are for win98 and it extracts the files to the system32 folder... and the stupid wizard can't find em. :argh:

edit:: ok this is what it says... this is really infuriating

ok seriously... this thing is just having it's way with me... i just checked the device manager and the drivers are installed for it... so it is working.. but when i open the :argh:

ok... this is really really screwed up.. i just tried it on messenger w/ my sister and it works. what the hell. this is really strange.. it works on the LAN side.. does anyone want to be my new friend to test my webcam? :innocent:

edit:: :omg: i am really shocked, i never knew computers can lie to like that straight to your face.. how the hell is it going to tell me that a camera was not detected when i'm looking straight into it. :no: my computer has been misbehaving.. i think it needs a spankin... and no porn for a week :crazy:

i contacted creative and man they suck.. probably worse than sony tech support :crazy: it took the guy like 10 mins to explain to me that they no longer support it and that he can't do anything about it. :angry: so i just bought a logitech webcam. life is good again.

    • For me, the fundamental problems with these "smartglasses" is that they really don't work well for people with significant prescriptions and massively up the price if you use attached lenses if they have displays, and if they don't, then they're not actually "smart" anything, rather just connecting to your phone and relaying voice to an AI. In a few cases like this, they throw in small cameras to feed video to the AI. All around, these feel like both a solution looking for a problem, and the problems it tries to solve seem more easily solved by different approaches and designs. Oddly, if the rumours are true, Apple may actually have invented something for once and it kind of does this right: put cameras in ear buds and manage the interface to AI exactly as most of us do: tapping on an ear bud and saying "Hey Google" or "Hey Siri." That makes them compatible with almost everyone, can double up as a hearing assist device, an impaired vision assist device, a "smart" device... and answer your phone and play music. That just seems like a better solution all around.
    • Usually the bigger ones with many fixes/changes take a few, theyre an exception to the rule most likely
    • If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.
