Question 2My video image is too dim or too light.  
Solving Method: Adjust the brightness and contrast background.  
Steps: Because the ViewCam can be easily affected by light,  
therefore, we suggested proceeding from usage environment and  
screen object such as increasing object brightness or moving light  
source.

expected as you want. Is the color part defective?

the Blank screen or black screen will occur?  
Method 1: Make sure that the ViewCam driver is installed fine.

need to update the OS to WIN98 SE or above or download  
DirectX8.0 or version above patch application from site then reset  
your computer.  
Question 5: Bloom screen occurs during the course of usage  
Method 1: Check if USB power is clean, because the ViewCam is  
easily affected. If the USB power wave is too large, then such  
problem will occur. You may use another computer to test it.  
Method 2: Check if the driver conflicts with other computer  
hardware devices.  
Method 3: Check the ViewCam driver and match it with ViewCam  
model; in addition also use other video cards to confirm if the  
current video card and its driver are incompatible with ViewCam.  
Question 6The ViewCam cant work normally under the  
laptop/notebook

window, please check the tab "resourceto find the conflict  
information. If it is conflicted with other video card, you should try  
to change an IRQ of them.  
Question 7Remote video isnt smooth as expected  
This issue is caused by two reasons:  
The actual net band with is not enough and you are suggested to  
modify the conference properties to decrease the video occupying  
bandwidth or to reduce the contemporaneous windows numbers  
2) Please check the computer CPU space occupying rate and if  
it is too high then please decrease it to reduce the  
contemporaneous windows numbers.  
Question 8How come I couldnt hear any sound via MSN  
Messenger even after the successful installation of the driver?  
1. Maybe the micro voice is not enable, so please click the voice  
icon in the system tray at the right bottom of computer screen to  
check if the micro voice is enable, if not, please enable it in the  
control volume.  
2. Sometimes, the MSN messenger is too old to support both  
sound card and your ViewCam, so please upgrade your MSN

messenger to support your ViewCam and sound card.  
Question 9: How come the system always asks me to install  
the driver while I have successfully installed?
