Comments about Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000:

Disappointed in the cam. Purchased to use with Skype so my grandchildren could see us and the picture does not transmit properly. May send a picture but soon stops and only a still one is viewed by them. Last time thy didn't even get a picture only a green screen.

The LifeCam VX5000 came with LifeCam 2.0 software. This would not load on my computer. I called tech support. They helped me load LifeCam 3.0 and now all is well.
