USA to UK Webcam compatibility dave 12/26/2008 3:59:00 PM I bought the LifeCam VX-5000 in the USA and brought it to the UK. However, on loading the CD, the installation will not move past the first window because it will not recognize the internet connection ("setup cannot continue because you are not connected to the internet or the server is unavailable. Connect to the internet and then run setup again"), even though the internet is connected. Is there any way around this? Thanks -- DB

Fixed dave 12/29/2008 2:31:00 AM ok, the latest software still gave the same problem. However, I figured out that it is the Microsoft NET framework that was causing the issue - I uninstalled MS NET Framework (I'm not sure what the heck it does anyway), and everything installed perfectly. Thanks MS for not making your software compatible. Good job. -- DB
