I'm running Windows XP Professional. I tried installing the driver from the little CD that came with the camera, but my computer isn't even reacting... nothing happens at all. The camera doesn't show up in Device Manager, so I assume the CD needs to be installed, but it just won't go through. Does anyone know how to help? 🤷🤷🤷

Is anyone actually going to help?

I have this little webcam for my monitor—it worked fine with Messenger a few years back. I haven't used it much since. Now that I've installed Skype, it just won't work. I'm running Windows XP Professional. I tried installing the driver from the small CD that came with the camera, but the computer isn't reacting at all; nothing happens. It’s not showing up in the Device Manager, so I assume the CD needs to be installed, but it's just not working. Does anyone know how to help?🤷🤷🤷

With some help from a guy in my neighborhood—who suggested I download Medtronic—I managed to actually get the video to open. Anyway, thanks to everyone for the assistance!!

Benjamin King2 said:Hold on—is there an actual file attached to that email, or just a download link? Where exactly are you supposed to get it from? And what software are you needing to grab online?

It isn't a link—just an mp4 attachment. About 4798kb, I guess.

My apologies, Benjamin King2—I might have misread things. That video is labeled as an mp4, but whenever I try to download it, it tells me I need to grab some software online first. Could you please help me out?

Benjamin King2 said:Just grab the attachment in the message with your mouse and drag it onto the desktop... what do you mean by a zip file? I'm not sure what that is.

I did exactly what you suggested—now there’s an icon on my desktop labeled cleardot followed by an angle bracket, a "1" inside, then a dot and "gif." When I click it, Microsoft Office Picture manager pops up... I guess I'm stuck. What's the next step?

Quote:... though, I suppose you should probably move the zip from your email to the desktop first.

Benjamin King2 says: So, did you actually get 7-Zip installed? You just right-click the zip file, select 7-Zip from the menu, and hit extract here

I moved the zip to my desktop, right-clicked, and looked for 7-Zip—but the option says "Extract here" in English, and my system is set to American settings... wait, maybe I'm doing this wrong? Help me get past this step!
I can't seem to get the zip out of my email. How does that part work?

It’s all quite complicated—no chance, I suppose.

wiredtrucker13 said:I downloaded that 7-Zip thing—or maybe it was WinZip—and now I can't seem to find it anywhere. I tried opening the video via Gmail again, but it keeps saying it’s already saved. I'm a bit stuck, I guess.

Benjamin King2, could you give me a hand? I have 7-Zip installed, but I'm not quite sure how to actually use it.

Benjamin King2 said:Just search Google for WinZip or 7zip and hit the first link...

I downloaded that 7zip thing—I think—but now I can't seem to find it. I tried opening the video again through Gmail, but it won't work; it just keeps saying it's already saved. I guess I'm stuck.

I clicked the link, but I'm not quite sure where to click to actually download it—could someone help me out? Do I need to sign up for an account or something?

Could someone please send me a link to download WinZip? I received a video file via email that I can't seem to open—it's tucked inside a zip folder, and I'm feeling a bit lost with it. Any help would be appreciated.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Quite the price tag! I guess I'll just stick with Windows XP for now—maybe we can reconsider once the pricing actually makes sense.

driftingangler11 said:Well, you can find it at Techtronic Industries, The Fillmore, Vemil... pretty much any store carries Windows 7, though it's usually just the OEM version.
Scumbags

What exactly is an OEM version?

Does Windows 7 come in an American English version? Also, does anyone happen to know the current price for an original license?
