Well, the software worked for me from the Logitech Website. qc1110 that is, quickcam version 11.1.0 ~LadyAshura I am not sure what operating system I downloaded it for, but I used it on Win7 32 bit with no problems, so I suggest doing a search for it if you want to give it a go (if I don't re-post with my findings yet). I just dug out my cd and found the driver software. I could move the camera around and the software was fully functional with no issues. I didn't even have to run it in compatibility mode. I actually stumbled upon a forum that had a fix for the problem. When I had windows 7 32bit installed, I had a problem getting the camera to work with the software. I am going to try the driver for windows vista (qc1051enu_圆4) on the Logitech website first before I dig out the cd I have the older software installed on and see if that works with Win7 64bit. However, at the moment, I do not have the software installed. I have been able to use my Logitech Orbit Sphere in MSN messenger, Yahoo Messenger, to take photos on facebook.etc without any issues. I don't use skype, however since I use my webcam in other applications, when I installed windows 7 64bit, I let windows 7 install the drivers. Just googling (forever), I believe that we are not the only ones encountering this on 64-bit. (The webcam microphone DOES work properly.) Tried with two difference Quickcams (recent models) and they both work on Windows 7 32-bit and not on 64-bit. All the while the Device Manager says the camera is installed and working properly. I have the exact same situation that you do: Quickcam (11.5 or 11.9) says "the webcam is in use by another application, etc), Skype just gives a black square (ironically it will go through all the motions as if it's working - taking pictures, etc), MSN Messenger says it cannot connect to the webcam, etc. I really hope you find the problem, because I've wasted many many hours (in the double digits at least), reinstalling Quickcam, uninstalling other applications, trying various combinations, etc - with absolutely no luck on Windows 7 64-bit. So I lay my problem to the rest of you folks. I spent a good part of my weekend trying to figure this out. I then launched the quickcam utility app (again with vista compatibility) and now it tells me "webcam in use by another application". :/ So again I had win7 look for drivers online and the camera installed again. this seemed to work for other people with logitech cams but didn't work for me. So I tried to manually update the drivers by pointing it to the folder I extracted all the files to, but it won't recognize a driver under that. So whatever I skipped that part, but the device is "unknown device" under device manager. I was able to get the installation going in vista compatibility mode, but once it gets to the part where it tells you to plugin your webcam it won't detect it at all. I ended up uninstalling the drivers, and just downloaded on from the logitech site. Unless the webcam is broken but I have to verify that on another machine. I'm able to move the camera around via the webcam settings but no video at all. My specs are as follows: Core i7 2.66ghz EVGA x58 mobo 6gb ram ATI 4870 1GB Win7 was able to find the drivers online, but I immediately noticed that under skype->options->video it shows nothing but black. So I searched high and low for solutions on getting my sphere/orbit MP to work in win7 64. Your driver is up to date - if you have a problem with your driver, you can try to re-install the old version as below. *: 2K=Windows 2000, 2K3= Windows 2003, XP= Windows XP, VISTA = Windows Vista, WIN7 = Windows 7 Watch this video to see how it works - click here If your driver isn't working, use the driver having the same OEM with the your laptop/desktop brand name. If you are looking for an update, pickup the latest one. With the different devices, they can have the same driver, it's because they all use the same chip manufacturer. Below is a list of drivers that may be suitable for your device.
