software installation' for installation instructions.
4.1 General
VLounge is the central application for easy access to your Philips USB PC Camera and all video
applications installed during setup, together with access to one application of your choice. You
can start VLounge using the Windows QuickLaunch menu on your taskbar, through the program
group 'Philips ToUcam Camera', or by double-clicking the VLounge icon
on the desktop.
The buttons to the right in the VLounge windows will start the applications. If you did not install all
of the applications, some of these buttons will be greyed out and will not activate when the cursor
moves over them, indicating that the application is not available. Please re-run the Philips
installation program 'Setup' from the CD-ROM to install any missing applications.
The other buttons and the menus offer access to other useful camera options.
Where to get help on the applications?
For detailed information about the use of these software packages, please read the information
accompanying the individual software packages. Each software package usually creates its own
program group in the Windows Start Menu which is activated by clicking on the Windows Start
button. These program groups contain the application program icon and other items (Help files,
Electronic Manuals, Uninstall Wizards, Readme files, etc.) for that specific software package. All
available information is usually accessible via the software's program group, or through the Help
options within the program.
