    It should work out of the box. What program are you trying to use it with?

    Or instead of "it doesn't work" do you really mean want to try it? The M11x comes with Youcam for that purpose.

    your m11x should have came with the CyberLink YouCam program. Boots to desktop out of the box. it has capture, snapshot, video capture options which you can import to paint or photoshop if you need.
