its not your OS its most likely the browser your using. try installing mozilla firefox....much better all arount than explorer IMO plus you'll be able to see the web cam....

The webcam displays fine on all of my computers using XP, Vista and Win 7. If you cannot see anything it is probably because you have a security setting that does not allow Active X to run. Try reducing your browser security settings to a less paranoid level.

In Internet Explorer go to Tools and then Internet Options. Under the Security tab play around with the security level until things work. I have my computers set for medium and have specifically allowed ActiveX to run.

I hope that this helps.

I used to be able to view the webcam, but now it doesn't load for me. What's up? I'm on a imac with OS X 10.5.2. Any ideas?

I am experiencing a similar problem. I have several computers running all the versions of Windows that can view the feed without a problem. I decided to get rid of Vista on one of them and install Win7. For some reason this computer will no longer view the site. I know the problem is some sort of setting on this maching but have been unable to figure it out.

When I try to download the ActiveX file that enables viewing, I get the message that this file cannot be registered on this computer. It must be some security setting but so far I am stumped.

I went to another computer running Win7 that used to be able to view the camera feed. Now this one cannot see the page either. I am pretty good with computer stuff but this problem is beyond me a the moment. Anyone have suggestions?

I couldn't get it to work using Windows Explorer browser on Windows Vista so I downloaded Google Chrome browser and it works fine. I use Chrome just for the webcam and Explorer for everything else. I recently upgraded to Windows 7 and had to do the same as before.

Bob, it sounds like Win7 security is getting in a way.

Try to run Internet Explorer as an administrator:

find the IE Icon under All Programs
Right mouse button click on it, choose "Run As Administrator"

That did it for me on my new Win7 laptop. Once you install it and it properly registers, you ought to be all set.
