Alaris QuickVideo DVC1 USB Driver Reviews

"installed windows98se and lilo bootloader. now I boot into win98 whenever I need the cam. saved $50 for a new cam. good cam, by the way. one would have to pay at least 50 bucks to get the same quality. I'm using the original drivers on the CD for my USB weeCam. which I found in a dumpster, by the way."

"I am able to get the cam to work under XP with the v1.35 drivers. The problem is with Windows XP SP1 and/or DirectX v9 and up. Unfortunately the Alaris website is gone, but the last I heard from them them was a basic 'Tough S***' response."

"Downloaded the file, extracted it, loaded it. It does the same thin the orginal program does, shuts down the system... I'm ready to trash the camera and buy a new one...too much trouble with this one."

"Looks like we're all having problems with the driver in windows XP. My system crashes when I load it. Is there a way to change compatibility for devices?"

"Did it work well thanks Shawn Barton"

"Hopefully it will work. Thsnks"

"I have Windows XP Home edition. I followed your instructions and get the blue screen of death. Is this driver for XP USB? I got this webcam free from earthlink when I lived in USA. I am now in Germany and have a German version of XP. Could this be my problem?"

"XP is the most stable operating system that has come out of Redmond yet. I think old Jim just needs to give it up, you've been trying for 55 years to write hello world and still haven't figured it out."

"thanks a lot shawn barton ) i loaded the driver on my win 2000 server and it worked. at first i didnt think it would work cause windows said that i already had the best driver installed.so i installed your driver anyway,rebooted the system and it worked,right on...thanks."

"Downloaded driver , unzipped it and then installed it. Result was blue death. Computer crashed and does not recognise the webcam. Has any one an XP driver that works?"

"Shawn I have a slightly different Problem. I Downloaded the .Ace file and Uncompressed it and attempted the Install after I had shut down all running programs and it tries to start and almost immediatly it stops with a ding sound and then Nothing. I never did remove my Prior version which is what I use in Win98SE. I am already Hateing WinXp. I have been Programming for ov

"I downloaded the driver and then Winace 2.2. I decompressed the file with winace and then ran the hardware installation. It still does not work. It shuts down my system when I try to use the camera. I have windows XP. Any ideas please email me. Thanks."

"Did not work. I have Windows XP"

"No file was downloaded.. just a document"

"ADDENDUM to my previous comment: I am running XP SP2, and the weeCam is USB type, brainboard is INTEL Desktop Board D915GEV.

"I have an ALARIS QuickVideo weeCam, Model FGB-V000-003400, S/N: BHB 9AA 07783; an Earthlink---Sprint promo gadjet. Earthlink live chat tech support directed me to this particular driver on 2.2.2008.

"Wouldn't install on Windows XP Home SP2. Just beeped when using the Setup file.

Tried installing the device and selecting the extracted files from the .ace archive to a folder I created. Appeared to install until the last step and the install was halted with an error code 10.

Didn't work for me."

"unfortunately this driver never worked for me.....it has something to do with the registry files."

"needed for middle school classroom setup using parallel attached equipment. Will need to modify prog from usb to equipment config; do not know yet if that will let the drivers do their job."

"caused the system to crash"

"Warning... your driver file "Alaris Quickvideo DVC1 USB.ace" causes hard reboot on XP-SP2

A full memory dump is attempted and "a serious error has occured" message is displayed on subsequent startup.

The reboot is far beyond any "blue screen" reboot I have ever seen and I would advise against anyone running XP-sp2 against using this.<

"Nearly Destroyed my computer. Do not install."

"Tried many different downloads. You should remove this driver and say user had no success and recommended its removal!"

"could not get driver to install...a real work of art...they don't even tell how to fix :-("
