Author: No Error Message … Or… Message of no error.
At Adobe’s they think it is important to give a message when no error occured in Dreamweaver CS3

Like I told you before, I have Vista working on my new PC.
I have a Logitech Zoom webcam, which worked just fine with Windows XP
Vista does not know this webcam, and logitech doesn’t provide the drivers for Vista.
No, logitech would like it more if you buy a new Vista ready webcam.
I don’t want to buy a new webcam, so I searched for a workaround, and found one.
- Install QuickCam 32-bit Version: 10.5.0 or newer , download here
- When you get to the camera detection part where it asks you to plug in your camera, plug it into a new usb port (if you had it plugged in when you installed Vista) and just press skip.
- Windows may try and find the driver for it, you can cancel that too.
- Install the old QuickCam software (Version: 8.4.8 build 1034A)and overwrite anything it asks you to (it will fail to install completely because of the new version, but it will put the files you need into the Logitech program files directory.
The old software is here - Go to the windows orb (former start button), open control panel, go to system, then on the top left of the window click device manager.
- Find the unknown usb device (hopefully you only have one… otherwise unplug anything else that doesn’t work or you haven’t updated the driver for yet)
- Right click and select update driver, choose a location to find the driver, navigate your way to C:Program FilesLogitechQuickCamWebInstallDriversWinNewPRO2
- Press OK or whatever, and let it install.
- Enjoy!
Tags: The last view days I was wondering why my harddisks kept doing something when using Windows Vista.
When I visited some sites I found out that Windows Vista does a lot of things to keep itself fast.
Like auto defrag my harddisk, indexing al files to speed up searching and prefetching. (a way to extend the virtual memory)
I don’t think that my harddisk likes this very mucht, I wonder if my harddisks life will shorten because of this.
On many sites it says that leaving your pc on for a night will solve this problem. (Vista then will be ready indexing en prefetching e.g.) So I did… and it did not help.
I think these 3 “services” are running in a visual circle.
Vista defrags my Harddisk, Vista renews the file index and creates a new prefetch, and Vista defrags again……
Never ending story
So…….
Well…. Vista… I have it on my new Dell pc.
It looks great, but Windows ME also looked great.
Windows Vista like Windows ME is far from a workable product.
Like connection to my XP Shared printer. It just doesn’t work !
The bluetooth part of the phone did not work very well, and froze my phone from time to time.
