I have a problem with my web cam (microsoft VX-6000). The ipi recorder doesn't recognize it. What can i do?

Thanks in advance.

Uninstall Microsoft's drivers for your webcam. After that, your webcam will work as a generic UVC camera (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_video_device_class ). You'll still be able to use all image controls implemented by your camera hardware.

I uninstalled the driver but the program still has problem finding the camera.

What operating system do you use (and what service pack)?

After you uninstalled the driver, when you connect VX-6000 camera, do you see a message from operating system about successful installation of driver for camera? You should see such a message, informing you that generic USB camera driver was installed. Also, you should see the camera in Device Manager, with device name like "Generic USB camera".
