Okay, I have a really weird problem. I’m running Windows Vista 32-bit. Now, I install the drivers (with the camera unplugged), that all works quite well. Then I plug my camera in, Windows starts to install the drivers, I have to redirect it to the Driver folder that’s in Program Files (under CL-Laboratories) and then it starts installing. After a few minutes though it gives this weird error message. I can printscreen it but I’m Dutch so I don’t think you’d understand.

What it says is the following:

A driver for this device has been found, but there installation program encountered the following problems:
[PS3Eye Camera]
The process doesn’t have access to the file because it is in use by another process.

I’m not sure process is the right translation, but I hope you understand.

I hope someone can help me with this for I really want to use my PSEye with my PC. I have done this before with an earlier driver, which worked nothing less than perfect. It is such a shame that this just doesn’t. Thanks in advance

Hey Luigi,

Any progress on this? You may wanna try and download the latest CL-Eye Driver installer and use this method to install instead of manually looking for the driver yourself. Also make sure during the install you un-plug your camera as you are on Windows Vista. Normally after driver is installed properly Windows will show a little PS3 Eye picture once you plug the camera in.

No progress at all. I actually use the installer to install the driver. The problem is that after I’ve done all this (with the PS3Eye unplugged obviously), I put my PSEye in and for some reason Windows starts installing the driver, which, as I stated in my post, fails.

The strange thing is this. I did the exact same thing on my laptop, which is also Vista. I followed the same instructions and handled exactly like I did on my home computer. A bubble came up as well, I had to redirect the Windows driver installer to the driver file (or map I believe) and it starts installing. I believe it took 10 minutes but it works wonderfully. I have no idea why it doesn’t work on my desktop pc, even after loads of reboots.

Anyone really? It’s so weird. The driver install that I downloaded goes well. I plug it in and do the Windows Installation. On my laptop it just installs perfectly. On my desktop PC it gives the error I stated in my first post. What to do? Please, please help.

Ok, update.

I don’t get the error mentioned in my OP anymore. I now get a new one. ‘The operation has been retourned because the time-out period has expired’. What does that even mean. After this, it puts the PS3Eye in the CodeLabs bracket in Device Manager, but it’s not installed. Now what?
