Intel Deluxe PC camera slow performance

[Vinnie Rinaldi]

I can't answer other than giving my own experience- Over the past 6 months,
I've set up, and moved around, 3 deluxe and 1 pro on my home network- using
Win98, Win98SE, and Win98Me... 2 Celerons 433 and 466, and 2 PIII- 450 and
667... All have performed fine - no problems at all... I will say this- I
like the software packed with the Pro better than the deluxe.... So after
installing the deluxe, I uninstalled the create and share, and tested the
Pro software on one if the deluxe set ups..... Intel is now packing
NetMeeting 3.01 in the newest boxes and not VideoPhone - maybe that's a part
of the problem.. also, I had trouble in past on my Toshiba laptop- Celeron -
350(?)... In essence, everything here backs up what you say- you shouldn't
be having any trouble... try getting a hold of the Pro software package and
see if that helps...

I am running an Intel Deluxe PC camera on my Windows 2000 Professional
system with the beta drivers from Intel's site. I noticed that the
response time (and possibly framerate) seem a bit slow on this system,
as compared to a Pro PC camera I saw on a Windows 98 system the other
day. For example, I can look at the camera, then my "live" video
window on the monitor, and see my head move about a half second later.

I looked at the USB bandwidth resources, and there is no entry
allocated for this camera, which I suspect is a driver problem. This
is my only clue as to possible cause for this performance issue. I
have a Pentium III 500MHz with 512MB RAM and a Matrox G200, so I don't
think video or processor performance should be the problem in this
case.

Has anyone experience with this camera setup on Windows 2000 to say
whether they see similar results? Could this be a USB bandwidth
allocation issue?

Thanks,

Geez, Wade I've been trying to get the darned Create and Share software to
load on W2K for weeks. Are you using that or Netmeeting.

C&S balks at the W2K op sys and I have been able to fool VP.EXE using the
APCOMPAT.EXE file from W2K/support folder on the VP folder's SETUP.EXE
file.. It will not fool the main SETUP.EXE file located on the CD root
directory.

As a result, every attempt to install C&S fails after the pssword entry box.

The cam does work on Netmeeting.

Any words of wisdom ...???

Use netmeeting.. matter of fact, that's what intel's shipping in the newest
packages...I know, I got it in my latest purchase!
