I cannot install Cyberlink YouCam in my laptop and get the error message.
"YouCam requires a component of Microsoft Windows Media Player to function properly" my OS is Vista,
What should I do?
Dear User,
You can fix this issue by following a simple technique. Just install Windows Media Player which is 11.0 or higher. Next go to Control Panel>>All Programs>>Features>>and Turn Windows Features on or off. From Windows Features search for Media Features and then select Windows Media Player and click OK. That’s all, your problem solved.
Also don’t forget to visit this Techyv’s post “An Error during installation of Cyberlink Youcam” which is described about this problem too.
Actually, the system requirements for CyberLink YouCam didn’t mention anything about Windows Media Player or any prerequisite software. Normally, CyberLink YouCam supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 and requires at least Intel Pentium 4 3.06 GHz or faster processor, 512 MB RAM, 1 GB free hard drive space, non built-in graphics adapter, and webcam.
The latest version, CyberLink YouCam 7, supports up to Windows 10 and dropping Windows XP among its supported operating systems. If your current version has a problem with Windows Media Player, try upgrading Windows Media Player to version 11 or higher supported by Windows Vista.
Or better yet, simply update your operating system to Service Pack 2 since it will also install the latest version of Windows Media Player for Windows Vista. To update your operating system, download and install Windows Vista Service Pack 2. This is the latest and last Service Pack update for Microsoft Windows Vista. After updating, see if CyberLink YouCam is working.
Additionally, if you want to update CyberLink YouCam, go to CyberLink YouCam 7. The standard version costs $29.95 while the Deluxe version is at $44.95.
