La Jolla Webcam support - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

There are no compatibility issues with Axis driver (webcam) and Vista... There are issues when it comes to getting anything work on Vista, if certain Vista security features are in place.

Try this - http://www.axis.com/techsup/faq/inde...324&artlang=en

Adding www.bigwatersedge.com as a trusted site in your browser settings ought to do it. If it doesn't work, try adding 66.160.198.117, BWE's current IP.

Make sure your security software is not in a way - that's the most common reason for troubles.

I've got IE and Vista Ultimate on my laptop and it works fine. For those folks having issues are you running 32 or 64 bit vista? You can check by going to the SYSTEM icon in the control panel, or right clicking on COMPUTER and select PROPERTIES. Mine is 32 bit, but I know that many new computers from Dell and Sony preload the 64 bit version and there can be issues with a few programs and drivers.

32 bit operating system.

Added http address, didn't help
Added IP address, didn't help
Lowered security level, didn't help

The web page prompts download as normal. Install go as normal until error message come up as:

Axis Media Control
The AXIS Media Control, which enables you to view live image streams in Microsoft Internet Explorer, could not be registered on your computer.

I don't mind getting firefox to watch the cam, but it seems like there has got to be a way to fix it.... Vista/IE is only getting more prevalent, more and more new systems sold now can't run properly on XP and some hardwares don't even have drivers for XP. (Not that I am a fan of Vista by a long shot).

Give manual DLL registration a shot - heads up, it's a bit technical:

Woah... Yea, a bit technical... couldn't even get past the first step of downloading the file needed. (I have no idea what location they are referring to to download the .cab).

The rest of the steps seem pretty straight forward, but stuck on step 1...

I ended up just downloading Firefox and it worked perfectly. In less time than it took to try to read the instructions.

Felt like I chickened out... well, that's mainly because I did. LOL.
