Hello Evelyn

You will need to ensure that your computer specifications meets the minimum video, processor as well as the memory requirements that are required for the LifeCam to run properly.

• First you will have to open the system information tool, and then do the following:
• If you are using windows vista or windows 7, click Start on your computer and then type msinfo32 in the search and then press Enter on your keyboard.
• For windows XP and other earlier versions, you will need to click Start on your computer, and then click Run. In the box that will come up type msinfo32 and then click OK.
• Go to the left side of the window and click on System Summary. Take note of the processor that your system is using as well as the Installed Physical Memory.
• Still on the left hand side, expand the components. After that click display and take note of the Adapter RAM value.
• Check the USB option, and then look for a list of controllers. In the event that the controllers are enhanced then your computer's USB is 2.0

After all that is done exit the System Information Tool.

Regards,

Carl
