MiJKa Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I get an interesting problem on an Acer 9424WSMi. Macam powers the orbicam up (it's a Logitech btw) but what I see, whether with Macam or PhotoBooth is a green screen. Images and videos recorded are just...well, green. So, no go here, either, unless some new development has been found. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
