I have already opened the package, can it be returned or no? That really sucks that it can't work for Windows 7, and ridiculous.. is there any way at all that we can get it to work? Thanks.

This product works with Windows 7 with Skype. You only need to set compartibility mode for Skype to "Windowsw Vista Service Pack 2". See this link ==> http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/itprovistahardware/thread/c8f56336-2fcf-4103-ac19-2f30ab5578b6

When I go to add the software from the website..it states that I should plug in the camera, when i open the devices on the computer, I see that the webcam is there..But it is not allowing me to install it..and it doesnt just plug in and go from there so I had to go on the website they provided to download the software or something...

I have that cam, I use it on Windows 8, and I also used it on my windows 7, there is no program for it, it should install the driver on its own. You may want to make sure there are no other cams hooked up at the same time it will throw it off. Anything have the same name will throw it off so you may have to rename it, or you may need to put it in a different USB port on your computer. It does work with Windows 7.

My computer (an HP with Windows XP) wouldn't recognize the camera as a legitimate device. That made this thing absolutely useless to me. Hope that helps.

I had no real stable luck with it on windows 7. After fiddling around with compatability modes and drivers, it worked briefly. But blue screens and choppy video was frequent. I found it better just to use it on a winXP machine just for that purpose. It's a good device otherwise, as long as its on winXP.

It's found to work best with windows 7. It tends to freeze up with windows 8. That's my experience. I hope this is helpful.

Positive it does not work on windows 7. I tried the compatibility function in Windows 7 as well to have it configured under XP, still won't work.

NO ! I still am unable to get this device to work with windows 7. it reminds me that you get what you pay for. spend more and get a better quality camera.

I don't think that it matters what window's you have I have window's 7 and it works just fine you have to use manycam to take pictures or video's with it. It's a great webcam.

I use mine with Vista and as far as I know if it works with vista it should work on windows 7. However just like the other reply says it is tricky to get it to work the first time. If you haven't done it before even trickier.

I am wondering the same now.. No wonder I have never been able to get it to work on my computer. Lately can't get my camera to even recognize the card. I had to go purchase a new card

I have Windows 7 and it has been working fine for my setup. I was excited to try it out and just plugged it in and used it, although later when I read the instructions I was a little mortified to see that it was only compatible with Windows Vista and no mention of Windows 7, but it still worked fine. Must've been either a printing error, or maybe I just got an earlier version, but if you go onto the Bluemic website (http://www.bluemic.com/icicle/) , it will specifically say what operating systems are compatible, and Windows 7 is one of them.

When you plug in the camera Win 7 loaded the driver for me. It came up with a Microsoft Driver from 6/21/2006 ver. 6.1.7601.17514. The file it uses is usbvideo.sys buried in the drivers directory. I copied the app to a dir and opened it went to preview and the picture came up in the window. Hopefully this helps.

I think it is compatible with Windows 7. However I use the camera only to Skype. It works fine. Though it's a bit blurry. But the price is right. If you want clearer picture, it's better to pay for more. But this camera can be a starter. Good luck.

you would have to find driver software, I bought this camera for my Windows 7 machine which automatically finds and downloads the appropriate drivers because this unit does not come with any software, I would Google it first to find out you can find appropriate software.

I also wan to know if it works with windows 7. I don't want to purchase it if it does not. Can someone answer please that has tried it.

I had mine working on windows 7 and it worked fine. I'd say give it a try since there is no download to get it to work, it just connects in the USB. I really enjoy it!
