I tried exactly that, but it tells me that an error occured while setting up the driver.  I have a dual-core x64 AMD Vista and the driver doesn't seem to be compatible with x64!

Any ideas?

I tried the advice to get my Creative Live! Camera working on my version of Vista (32 bit) and it didn't work. Install program locked up after I reset the configuration to the Service Pack that you instructed to do. 
Any other "solutions" suggestions would be great if they are out there.
I guess I will call Creative and see what they tell me.

I went to the Creative website and downloaded the latest driver but when I try to run the driver I downloaded from the website It starts and runs unpacks and then it says Error and makes me close the install. I tried to Update the driver manually through Device Manager and I went to add new device but it wont even sense their is a new device. And when I plug in the camera it Makes the deive noise twice in quick rhythm like it senses and then doesn't want to. My cam is in good condition I have the driver disk still and I payed alot for this cam a while back any help would be appreciated.
