I have just installed a camera the IBM PC Camera. The software installation was going fine until I was told the Microsoft Strongly Recommends that I stop this installation because the software is not digitaly signed by microsoft.IBM says to ignore this message and install the driver anyway.
Ever since installing, I have had users typing over me while writting emails, or strange words appearing in the title bars, or the message fields, along with the screen refreshing itself constantly, Anyone have ANY idea what is going on?

Hi,

It is possible that your camera software has installed a virus on your system, but it seems unlikely. This definitely wouldn't be the case if you installed directly off an IBM CD.

It becomes more likely if you installed off an executable that you downloaded off the net.

If you dont have virus software installed on your PC, then it would be best to get some!

Cheers,
Tim.

Thanks I am running better, I did a sysyem restore and uninstalled the camera. Waiting to see what IBM has to say.
I did install from their CD.
