A: It is highly likely that your BIOS is not compatible with the USB standard. Contact your PC supplier for an updated BIOS. A: Check if Phoenix Plugworks is one of your applications.

A: There are several reasons for not having video: 1. Check whether the USB PC camera is connected to a USB port 2. Check whether 'Microsoft WDM Image Capture' is the current capture source. On systems with other devices, this other device may be the selected capture source. 3.
