T61 Webcam : I got it working! :)

Hey everyone,

I know there was a few of us that couldn't figure out how the heck to get the Webcam up and running in Vista. All I did was run the following "Integrated Camera Software"that was listed only under the XP drivers:

After running setup, the software said it installed successfully, and Vista detected the camera and installed the driver. The camera then showed under my Device manager. I tested it under Windows Messenger Live and I officially conformed it worked! WooHoo!

Hope this helps! Im hoping this will work fine until they release some Vista specific drivers.

I just wanted to clarify...though this driver is for XP..you installed it successfully on your vista system? Reason why I'm asking is because I have dealt with enough bsod's and freezes and finally was able to get my system stable after days of headaches; I don't want to mess that up =)

also the ibm site states software? is this some sort of webcam utility? or just a driver? Thanks

I have a Z61t Lenovo, it came with XP, I loaded Vista with Z61t recovery cd's and everything apart from the integrated Camera, I have installed the Lenovo Vista Integrated camera updated driver, and the T61 drive by mistake, I folled the instructions to the letter, my PC even says driver installed successfully, but still no camera. Can anyone give a new angle to try? Please

actualy it comes with an apps. but i can't even seem to run the apps. so basicly i only install the driver.
