How to Remove Your broken IE Webcam Plug-in?

Some people will ask me...
When I use MPEG viewer in the webcam, why can't I choose Modem or DSL options from the list?
It looks all disable, and keeps telling me DirectX need to be upgrade message.

Possibles are three:
1. Your PC doesn't have DirectX 8 or higher version, or your IE browser version is too old.
2. You haven't click Yes to install Webcam Plug-in for the IE Webcam program.
3. Your Webcam plug-in has been damaged. Need to be reload it.

Ans 1: Go to Microsoft website and load DirectX8 from there. (Read Microsoft Agreement before you agree to install it)

Ans 2: When the first time access Webcam page, IE will automatically download Webcam Plug-in for you. (see Step 5)
You need to click Yes to install plug-in, else you won't get any image at all. Also, if you have some Firewall program, it will prevent you to receive the plug-in program. If you do, please disable the firewall program when install the plug-in.

Ans 3: This is how you remove the plug-in.

1 Please Close all the program first.

Go to Control Panel

If you use Win98/2000,

(notice: TSM is not respond for any plug-in program losses)

Then, close all the windows until the desktop.

Now, after remove it. Your IE should be like the first time before you access to the Webcam.

You may try to re-enter your webcam to download your Webcam IE plug-in program.
