Windows 10: XBox 360 Live Vision camera no longer working

Hi,

I have an old 360 Live Vision USB Webcam that use occasionally (very, very occasionally, last use was late last year) that has apparently stopped working. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to possibly get it working again? Seems that Win10 recognises as a webcam it but I'm not getting any vision from it.

I know that MS recently completely broke the whole webcam process but I thought that was for the Anniversary update only and I'm still on 1152 (or whatever the version before Anniversary was) and figured it'd still work.

Am I just out of luck or has anyone still got a working one?

Thanks for your time!
LC

Hi Jack,

This issue might have occurred due to corrupted or outdated Camera drivers.

• Do you get any error message?

I suggest you to try the methods below and check if this helps.

I would suggest you to run Windows app troubleshooter and check if it helps.

Refer to the below link:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/run-the-troubleshooter-for-windows-apps

I also suggest you to run the app troubleshooter included within Windows OS manually by following the steps below and check if the issue persist.

In many cases, the Windows Store will automatically notify you if there’s a problem with an app and try to fix the problem. If you continue experiencing problems with an app, this tool can automatically identify and fix some problems
with apps and the Store.

• Type troubleshooting in the search box next to
  Start icon and select the top most search result.
• Click on View All from the left hand screen panel.
• Select Windows Store apps, click on
  Advanced option and check Apply repairs automatically
  option.
• Follow the on screen instructions.

If the issue still persists, I suggest you to refer the below article on "Set up and use the Xbox Live Vision camera on Xbox 360" and see if this helps.

can I use my old xbox live vision camera to record videos to my lap top?

 

Go to Start/Search and type devmgmt.msc right click the devmgmt results and Run As Administrator. In the Elevated Device Manager, are there any devices with Yellow Flags? Or, under Universal Serial Bus Controllers, is there an Unknown Device? If so, Right click this device and Uninstall it, Unplug the USB cable from the computer end. Restart the computer. When the computer comes back up, plug the USB cable into the Back USB port of the computer (desktop) and not the front or through a hub as these ports are weaker.

Thanks for the reply spunk, fortunately I did end up finding something that worked for me, the #2 registry edit worked like a treat.
