Well my integrated camera on my HTC shift works great in Onenote, so i guess htc can deliver driver that works.

I am getting so tired of everyone blaming every problem they have on Vista.

I briefly tested with my Q1U-V which runs Vista Home Premium and Onenote 2007, and it worked for me. There are a couple differences between my setup and Kevin’s though. Mine is Q1 Ultra (not UP), and I used the front side camera instead of the rear side one.
I will test again with the rear side camera, but since my Q1u is being upgraded to Vista Ultimate, it will take a while before I will be able to do that.

Josh, is that with XP or Vista? I completely agree about the one board issue; would have been nice for them to be separate.

I use DialKeys Gen2 to insert pictures into word, excel and onenote. I never had a problem.

The only issue is that you need to use the samsung camera app to switch it to the rear camera. It would have been nicer from samsung to not try to save by using one logic board for to cameras but use one logic board per camera.

It’s probably the same reason that Microsoft’s own Windows Movie Maker won’t detect any integrated web cams either.

Yeah, it’s a Vista problem. They dropped video device support from the Windows Image Acquisition driver, and insist developers use the Windows Portable Devices driver instead. In other words, only still image devices (i.e. scanners) now appear in Scanners and Cameras.

Most applications will still play nice by talking directly to the webcam’s drivers, but anything which is expecting to talk to the camera through WIA (including OneNote) is utterly stuffed. Microsoft is all about joined-up thinking, clearly.

Okay, so I guess I’m the only one commenting on this blog but it’s okay. =D I did download the OneNote (trial version) and tried to take a picture with Q1UP webcam and insert it right in to the note. It actually worked for me. I guess the reason why it didn’t work for Kevin’s Q1UP is because it’s running the Vista. Since it worked for me, I’m sure Kevin will figure out a way to make it work on his Vista sportin’ Q1UP as well.

I would love to try it out on my Windows XP tablet edition but I don’t have OneNote yet. I will download the trial version to see if it works on my Samsung UMPC. If it works, it’s clearly a vista problem. If it doesn’t work, then the problem remains to be solved and it could either be the vista, OneNote, or the webcam problem. I’m sure Kevin will come up with some kind of solution in the near future, though. =D

The title simply says “OneNote doesn’t play nice with my UMPC cameras”. Nowhere in the title does it mention anything about Vista or OneNote problems.

Your title for this article should have bad drivers for my webcam dosent alow it to used in Onenote. It is not a Vista problem and not a Onenote problem either.
