Webcam [Posted on 2007-10-17]
I was a little bit disappointed because the ads in the internet says that it is compatible with Windows Vista but it was not. I have to call the support right away to get the latest driver.

Not for Vista - beware!  [Posted on 2007-12-12]
This webcam just won't work with Vista. I have searched high and low for a driver for this, but none of them do the trick. And to think I just bought this! The Logitech I bought several years ago has Vista drivers and works great, and Creative doesn't even bother updating the drivers for such a recent product. Should've known not to trust the short sighted Singaporeans. Swiss rocks! Avoid this if you plan on running Vista.

Ultra weak [Posted on 2008-01-02]
I picked up this webcam a while back and it seemd to work with no problem what so ever. It adjusted well to low light anytime I would use it in my office which was great. I don't think it is compatible with the new upgrade on IE6 since it started to act up after a few updates were done. I can see people that I am talking to do but they can't see me. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing it several times and still the same problem. I hated to loose it since it fits really well with my Hp laptop but after this problem I might switch to Logitech and try their version.

I went on-line to see if there are any updates for this webcam that might fix my problem but I couldn't even find any current updates for it...oh well.

Does NOT WORK w/ certain computers [Posted on 2008-03-08]
I have tried many solutions to work this webcam, and it still won't work with my laptop. It is not compatible with computers (laptops and desktops) using the ATI graphics card. After downloading the software, the USB device is still unrecognized. Simply put, JUST BUY A DIFFERENT WEBCAM.

Beware - Not for Windows Vista OS  [Posted on 2008-10-18]
This camera produces unpredictable results under Vista. Sadly, they are the type you can spend much time diagnosing and attributing to something you may have done incorrectly, e.g. loading the wrong driver, not having settings for a video application specified correctly, etc. Creative Support provides a generic response that says "if you go to...you will find a Vista driver..." (beta since Oct 2007.) It will not work correctly, at least not on the two brands of notebooks I installed on.

When I installed on a Windows XP desktop, it functioned properly. However, unless you can buy at a steep discount (Creative offered for $20 recently), my recommendation would be to spend a couple of dollars more and get newer technology, auto-focusing lens, higher resolution, light sensing and adjustment, etc.
