Hi all,
I have a MS Lifecam vx-300 and a 3 point hat with IR. Everything was working fine when I had XP installed and before I switched to Windows 7 I backed everything up so I still have my working profiles. Problem is, when I start free track I see the 3 dots but never any crosshairs and changing the threshold doesn't have any affect at all. And the skull head doesn't move anymore. I suspect there is something misconfigured with the cam, at first Windows installed that awful Lifecam garbage so I uninstalled that and rebooted. Not sure what I need to do in order to get it working again, any advice? I needed to download a DX dll to get it started so I am past that hurdle, but am confused as to why it no longer works. |

well, I honestly don't know what happened but it's working now.
Decided to have another troubleshooting session so i fired it up and WHAMO! 3 dots and a moving skull. Really have no idea what changed but...eh, it's working. |

Bah, its hosed again.
For some reason with the VX 3000 the only choice for stream I have is RGB 24. I could have sworn I had more options before I reinstalled. And the camera settings NEVER save. I have the Enable Button to turn off auto exposure but it doesnt matter. If I open the camera settings and make changes, I can hit SAVE, APPLY, SAVE, APPLY until the cows come home but as soon as I open it up again its right back to where it was. I suspect the auto exposure is at fault here, but what good is it if it WONT SAVE THE CHANGES I MAKE?! As it stands now I have red dots (used to be white) and flickering phantom crosses popping up all over the place Good God this stuff is flaky as hell. |

Do you have change the driver?
RGB24 works as well as the others. Just adapt the threshold or exposure. Could it be a problem of admin rights? |

I am not sure about admin rights, since I am an administrator but would be willing to explore that. Any ideas?
As far as threshold and exposure etc, none of the changes I make are ever saved so changing them does not do any good. I did uninstall the MS Software for the camera, because it kept popping up all the time and interfering with Freetrack.
