Xbox Live Vision Camera Blind in Windows Vista

I scored on the Xbox Live Vision Camera for my Xbox 360, and was very much looking forward to using it as a webcam. Having just upgraded to Windows Vista Business, I was bummed to discover that there are no drivers for it yet. It just plain doesn’t work. If you figure out a way to get it to work, let me know - in the meantime, you’ve been warned.

Why is Vista even an issue? Just hook it up to your 360 so we can see your ugly mug on a nightly basis — or were you trying to use it with your PC as well?

So when is the write-up on Vista coming?

Heh - I’m trying to hook it up to my PC, as well. I’ve got a webcam for my lappy, and if I can get this one to work on my home PC (which shouldn’t be a problem - my home PC runs WinXP), then I can video chat with my wife.

A Vista writeup? Hmm - we’ll have to see about that one… it suffices me to say that I love the look of the OS, but I’m still getting used to it. Things are positioned in different places, and it’s taking me a bit of time to learn it.

I am using Vista Enterprise on my laptop. I plugged the 360 Vision camera in.

It asks for a driver disk, I din’t have one. But!

Fire up MSN Messenger, start a video call with a friend, and it works fine. Just give it a go!

Thanks for the info - I actually uninstalled Vista, and reinstalled XP - some of my work projects didn’t function under Vista and Visual Studio 2005.
