The price of ArcSoft Webcam Companion 4 may vary depending on the source. It's best to check official websites or reputable online retailers for accurate pricing information.
You can download the application through the download page at Software Informer, but the problem is related to purchasing. There is no way to buy the software anymore. For some products, the software arrived with your Sony laptop, and ArcSoft sold it separately for a limited time.
The Buy button is not working because the application has been discontinued. I've tried to find a solution to this problem, but it doesn't appear to exist one. I've also installed the application only to find out that indeed the Buy button doesn't work at all making it impossible to reach the buy page for the application. Sometimes you can use the trial version for an unlimited time. You need to remove it and then install it back.
Remove the application using Revo Uninstaller. It will force it to uninstall by wiping out all traces of its presence from the system making it suitable to install it again.
To fix this, open Task Manager (CTRL + Shift + Escape) and End Task of all the applications that may use the webcam. After this process, the webcam will be used exclusively by the ArcSoft WebCam Companion. As a side note, the webcam can't be used to stream the same image in different applications at the same time. This is the reason you received that message.
My ArcSoft Webcam Companion 3.0 cannot be used to capture videos or photos as the frame turns black whenever it is switched on. I'm using Sony Vaio VPCF11M1E and it worked fine in the past. The green light turns on on the laptop but it is not capturing whether the camera is used independently or on Skype or Google Hangouts. I recently installed Fraps for desktop capturing and I'm wondering if there is a problem. Can you help me?

In order to fix the problem, I recommend you download the latest webcam files from the official web page. Select your operating system and download the files. After that, press Windows + R key combination, type devmgmt.msc and click OK. Expand the Imaging devices list, right-click on the webcam driver and select Update Driver Software. Use the Browse option to navigate to the downloaded package, select the driver and install it following the on-screen instructions. After that, update ArcSoft WebCam Companion to the latest version.

Yes, the only free version available is the trial one which can be used free of charge for 15 days. After this period, you need to purchase a serial key in order to activate it. The application price is around $34.99. If you don't want to purchase the software, you can use a free webcam capture utility from Software Informer database.
My video is in black and white. Also, the 'color enable' button is hidden. What should I do to enable colors?
