Don't buy this camera! I connect it to 3 different computers and it doesn't work correctly - no signal, corruptes images. I deal with many types of Logitech, Dlink cameras and have no problems.

Crud, I am so disappointed. I paid a premium price for this product but it is inconsistent with Vista. Usually just a blank screen but sometimes it will work for a few minutes. Then nothing. ARRRGGGHHH. I guess I will have to take it back.

The error not enough disk is actually a conflict with the directx software you ll need to remove directx and replace with directx from the orginal Windows XP install disk there is a program availible to do that. Then the install shoudl work.

I bought it and I'm very happy with it. It is sharp, gives a wide angle and works as advertised. No regrets whatsoever. The design is cool !

Do not buy this product!!! I bought the Microsoft LifeCam VX 7000 thinking it would be a better camera than my Logitech Quick Cam, but I was very disappointed with it. I tried twice to install the Life Cam 1.4 software, but both times, halfway through the process, it told me there was not enough disk space and the process was shutting down. Then it rebooted my computer by itself. DON"T waste your money with this product!! I am very dissapointed with Microsoft. This product is suppose to be great quality, being a Microsoft product, but , now all I have is a $100 paperweight. I had to destroy the box to get the camera out and I can't return it back. If you buy this webcam, you will be sorry!!
