Hello!

I have got an Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000. the LifeCam dies not work after the computer was
sent to hibernation and came back from it.

I have got other devices sticking in other usb hubs that function with no problems (usb flash
drive, a keyboard, external hard drive ).

When the cam was up and running prior to hibernation or while hibernation :-), everything will
be fine. Also, what I can do was to un-plug and to re-plug the cam to the same hub. That's but
no clue since I had to un-plug and to re-plug the cam each time. When I run the program after
hibernation with no prior preparation the cams image(s ) will not show up, but a black square
only and the green light on top of the cam does not flash

Was any one used to the problem and can help?

Thank you,
Steve

Go into Device Manager and in the Universal Serial Serial Bus section,
go through the hubs,r-click on them, open "Properties", then on the
Power Management tab, UNcheck "Allow the computer to turn off this
device........"

Hi Bob I!

Thank you for your reply. I did, but didn't help at all. Sorry I forgot to mention.

Perhaps plug it into a powered hub?

Bob I, I think the hub was powered. I could plug the usb drive in the cams hub, it will work.

I even could unplug the cam prior to starting the LifeCam program and plug it back into the
same hub the program still off, the cam will work.

It also works fine with a freshly booted up computer and after standby also. Only after
hibernation it does not.

In hibernation the PC shuts off, and does not look for "new" things when
powered back on. Perhaps "find new hardware" will restore the cam
after hibernation.

The cam was not actually new hardware after hibernation. All the other usb devices are
ok after hibernation and to function correct with no failure. Only the cam does not.

The motherboard was from around '04, and I did install all the latest drivers but now do
have the one installed Windows XP picked. All the same.

Does the cam remain "on" though the hibernation period?

If the green light is on after the PC is back up, try "find new hardware".

That's a good idea since the cam was working already. :-) What else could I try out?

I still hope that there was some setting I'm not used to now that would fix the issue.
