I have a lifecam vx-1000 and no matter what programe I try to use the roboard will BSOD on vx1000.sys driver every time.

Any driver details would be helpful. Vesion, date, files, etc.

If I recall from other cam-related posts, the issue is with multimedia acceleration- the Roboard doesn't have MMX extensions, so that causes the B.S.O.D., if I remember right. Maybe the software for the cam will let you turn that off, or an older version might not utilize acceleration...

Had same problem with my Genius Look webcam. Try Yawcam software and drivers from other web cams of your webcam maker. I got my cam working this way
