Not compatible with Windows 8.1

The Cam makes difficulties under Windows 8.1 - the forums are full of it.
Short facts:
1. The Cam you get possibly running (with detours - see forums on the net)
2. Does the Cam again, is only the basic function available, so Image + Sound
3. The remaining features like zoom, cut, or the LifeCam Dashboard are not available!

Tip:
The forums are advised the LifeCam software in Windows 8.1 as follows to install:
1. Right-click the exe
2. Features
3. Under the tab "compatibility" in the drop down box "Windows 8"
4. Apply
5. install exe with a double

... Maybe. it works ... at most, like me, it did not work, so goes the Cam back today!

By the way ... there are even people who have their Windows system gedowngraded on Windows 7 to have the dashboard ... this is the current solution;)
