Hello new user here … I want to order a Camera but I need confirmation it will work on Laptop with Windows 7 … I prefer not to update my Windows at present as everything works well right now … and I’m of the belief " if it ain’t broke … don’t fix it"

We had another member report they had an issue with camera on windows7 laptop that is being looked into.
Might be worth a read. Solution for the other member…updated his system to win10.
Hey all,
Maybe someone can point out some little thing I am missing here…
I have the LB Camera, running Win7 on both laptops I’ve tried. Cam shows on device manager as working, Cam shows video in webcam software, but not native in LB…
In LB, there are 2 sources sown: LB Camera ( not working) and WebCam Splitter ( does work, but at lower resolution ).
As stated in Topic Title, cam works fine with LB installed on a Win10 Desktop.
I thought it might have been USB1 on the older Laptop, but it…

i had exactly that on my win7 laptop
no picture
but when i realised the camera was an AV stream USB Video Class device i discovered we needed to install the UVC driver on win7
(it is installed by default on win8 and later)
after installing the microsoft UVC driver it worked fine on win7
“The USB Video Class (UVC) driver is a Microsoft-provided AVStream minidriver that provides driver support for USB Video Class devices.“
i was worried for half an hour, but after installing (and a full reboot) it has been faultless since.

I also intend to test the LB camera on Win 7, and have set a reminder for this in several days.

Do you remember what exactly this driver is called. Navigating the windows driver page was a no go for me.

Hi Barrie, downloaded the file, but with the exe file didn’t recognize the cam. So i went to the folder /data/innos and executed the two exe files. After that i get it working. Thank You so much

I’m disappointed with the camera.
I finally got it running on windows 7 but it just keep crashing and dissapearing. I restarted the computer and that helped a few times but now it’s completetly gone and looks like it took my webcam that’s at the top of the screen as well.

Sounds to me like you ought to be disappointed with your operating system and drivers, not the camera.

Which camera are you using, and with which version of LightBurn?

While I agree that my machine and os are not new, Lightburn works very smoothly on it. I was not expecting the camera to give me trouble.
Double check the driver installation. I only tested the camera as far back as Windows 8, but I know they are supported on 7 as well. If you haven’t run Windows Update in a while sometimes that helps as well - that’s actually a common issue, as newer devices aren’t always compatible with the older OS unless you update semi-regularly.

I installed the drivers several times but I will try to update the system and do it again.
