I cannot uninstall my youcam 3 so I can load the disk of the update that I paid for. I am very frustrated and feel like the company sells the items but don't help you out with the problem. The company keeps sending the same e-mail that doesn't even start to work. first of all you can't click on the link you say to click on.

I'm having the same problem but I have an Advent Netbook. The Webcam was working just last week. Now there is no light next to the camera and I am unable to turn it on. :/ not a happy bunny! I've tried the FN short cut relevent to my netbook and nothing. Ive gone into device manager and settings, everything you name it. I haven'tcalled up tech support yet incase the problem is really simple and I end up sounding like a bit of a tit. So any other help, is welcome!

i have an integrated webcam and the program pre-installed for it is youcam but i cant see image its black or sometimes says youcam...please helppp

First, please check device manager to make sure built in camera is installed properly.

If all well at device manager, then open YouCam -> settings -> capture

and select your camera -> click on ok.

in device manager it says my webcam is working properly and then i chose my webcam in capture and it still doesnt work

Can someone please Help!!!!! everytime i go to click on the webcam nothing pops up. what i am trying to say is that it will not open. it worked fine before but now i don't know what to do. If someone can please help me out!!

Hi Lusinita, can You clarify before what? I mean when have You discovered it doesn't works properly?

I have laptop samsung np300e5a-windows7. My webcam is working ( i checked on skype) but i can't turn on my youcam3, and i don't know why?!

Just unplug all USB devices then try once.
Otherwise open your webcam at the top of the lense and just press the white button once right to the lense and you are done with your problem.

All I want is to Skype my friend in NewZeland but my HP Pavilion g series laptop which was advertised as having a built in webcam will not open youcam. Looking at some of these comments I'm not sure if the webcam exists!

Hi Janine,

Your best bet is to contact HP and ask for assistance, since the program is not working as advertised.

In the meantime, you could also download the Quick Start Guide for YouCam, which includes information about setting YouCam up for Skype. Links are below (not sure what version you have, so):

Version 4:

I've tried all these steps. My HP Pavilion dm4 is less than a year old. The webcam used to work - but is used very rarely - and now doesn't work. HP is offering to ship supplies to my house FREE of charge so I can ship laptop to them and be without my computer for up to 10 days. NOT HAPPY!!!

i had the same problem; no web cams attached stuff
n i found the reason by an accident after a long time ..
i was lookin for something on my desk then i had to move my lap top n see whats under it then a message poped that a new webcam is ready to use .... so i found out the cable was broken i took it to hp supplier n they changed the cable...
so check it maybe ur'e sharing the same problem

Hello,
I have an hp dv series laptop with built in webcam.

I have been dealing with this problem for 2 weeks now. Everytime I go to turn on my Cyberlink Youcam I get the error message:

"No video device detected. Please plug a video device into your computer. If you use an intergrated camera please make sure the camera is switched on".

No matter what I've tried, it wont work. I've tried pressing fn and F6 keys and all that does is lock the computer and prompt me to switch to another user. Also "Image devises" is not even listed in device manager.

This problem is maddening and I'd really like to find a fix for this.
The funny thing is the camera was working a few weeks ago.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi
I have just developed this same problem; Have an Advent desktop that has built in webcam that has OEM software 'YouCam (Version 1)' & has been working fine for the past 4 years with the installed software..up until last week when all of a sudden it ceased to function! the interface screen has all the buttons greyed out..i.e. files, settings, snapshot etc, so cannot access to try & set camera..accompanied with the same message 'error No video device detected....' I have even downloaded the patch from updates page..?

It only appeared since Cyberlink notified me about upgrading to version 5? has Cyberlink got a method of disabling the installed version so that you have to purchase upgrade? in which case this is sharp practice! I fail to see the need to upgrade when something has been working fine for so long..'if it aint broke don't fix it' is my credo.. can anybody help?

hiya guys
im just guessing but has the connection just came loose?
if you just peal back the black rim from around the screen ( very gentle not to snap off the little luges) dont have to take it all off, just around where the cam is.
there will be a white plug and a black connector it may have just sliped out

i very well hope it helps
