Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Digital Blue: QX3 Microscope
Customer Review: Difficult to install on my system
Summary: 2 Stars
I spent two hours getting this to work on my computer. I kept getting a message that I did not have all the necessary files. After numerous reinstalls & reboots I tried to go to the website listed in the readme file. That website no longer exists, but eventually I found some helpful information on the Intel site. I had to download and install a new codec file. After installing the new file the software did finally run, sort of. It periodically freezes up and requires a hard reboot.
My monitor resolution is set at 1920x1280, but the QX3 software resets it to 600x800. This would not be so bad if the original resolution would be restored when exiting. Instead it stays in the low resolution requiring it to be reset via the control panel. This is really annoying!
The microscope does seem to work well as far as viewing things goes, and it could be a lot of fun for the young scientist in your family. But, if it doesn't work properly it is probably just going to gather dust.
My recomendation to anyone considering this microscope would be to get an old computer & just dedicate it to the microscope. It is a very good value if it works.
