CyberLink YouCam requires a component of Microsoft Windows Media Player to function properly. Please install Microsoft Windows Media Player (version 11.0 or above) first.

Hi Nardwoxu.
There's no other solution to your problem than to do as the error message says. Which is to installed Windows Media Player 11 or higher. What makes your problem strange however is that Windows Vista already comes with Windows Media Player 11. something got corrupted most likely so you should download Media Player and reinstall it.
Here's the link to Windows Media Player:https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/18612/windows-media-player
Another possible problem is that Windows Media Player is disabled in your system.
Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off.  When you see the "Windows Features" window, scroll down and look for and expand "Media Features". The checkbox beside "Windows Media Player" should have a check mark. If it doesn't then click on it to enable Media Player.

Hi,
You must install Microsoft Windows Media because there are extension which is required for running your youcam. First install the windows media then install your youcam. And when you finished installing restart your computer or laptop. Hope it will give you an answer to your question.
