After you install your webcam try restarting your computer, that should resync the webcam with your computer. It should work after.

First make sure it's installed.  If your webcam has an LED light, it should be on if its installed properly (I am assuming that the webcam is pretty new).\n\nIf you need to use it for just taking pictures (which isn't the intended use by any means) then use the software that came with it.\n\nHowever, if you want to chat with your webcam, then I suggest you use Yahoo Messenger, AIM or MSN Messenger.  ALl three have the option to start video conferencing.  If your cam is installed right, the application should start using it without any issues.

Three?  Sounds like your computer.  Did you uninstall the drivers for the other cams?  You  need to try them on another computer to eliminate your computer being the problem.

I think your best option would be to unload it...unplug camera and start all over...download the web cam software again and hook up cam again and then try again cause i had the same prob but after doing it the second time it worked..if not read the owners Manuel hope that helps..

the driver should be all that is necessary to get the camera functional again.  most of the software that comes with the discs are unecessary.  Try using windows software, should pop up automatically after you install your cameras drivers and plug it in.

May sure you put the Cd the camera came with in the computer and install it..if you have...uninstall it and start over..sometimes it works when you do it the second time..good luck

Try to uninstall your webcam and its drivers and reinstall it,\n\nthe porblem you are saying is mostly because of conflict of drivers\n\nafter installation check there\n\nRightclick Mycomputer icon in desktop -> Properties->Hardware->Device manager\n\nscroll down and find your webacm and check it properties and make sure it doesnt have an exclamation mark or red ex\n\n\nif all fails contact the manufactures for instalation instructions\n\ngl

First Unplug all your USB Device. Then reboot your PC. Then wait for few second. And then plug your USB device like your digital cam and microphone headset one at a time. at the lower right corner of the screen after you plug any USB device it will prompt a message that "Found new hardware" if your using Windows XP.\n\nIf its not still working, If your Digital Camera or Headset has a driver included that match your Windows Operating system then install it first.\n\nIf still not working, look for the Motherboard driver of your PC. Then look for drivers and utility and then try to re-install the USB drivers. It might corrupt some of the files so it wont work, may be?\n\nLast option, try to plug your digital camera at other computer and observe what will be happened or message display.

Try to go to control setting and add it in or just look around. My hp did the same thing just keep playing around with it and it will work. good luck

Go to the folder that contain your pic drag and drop to your email and send it, \nIf you find the pic is really in the folder it said, but the program didn't do the job, try to uninstall the hp program and reinstall it, after your the uninstallation, before it install it software, hp software normally would do a clean swipe first, so you probably would get it work again.\n\nIf you have a hp camera product with your pc, you should go to the help desk of their web site, then you get the professional advice there thru online chat or email. I tried their online chat for technical support, quite helpful.

when u install it, it should have had a webcam program with it. \nor if u have a good graphical program do import and then choose source as webcam, or if u have a client like messenger installed click on webcam

it should be a plug and play, if not the cd should have an option for driver install only.  check the manual, or find out what kind of webcam it is and download the drivers yourself and skip the whole installing the program part.

Try to unplug your web-cam then re-boot your PC, install your software, then plug in your web-cam. some usb devices needs software installed first and some the other way around.

If you know what kind of webcam it is, or even who the manufacturer is then you can go to their web site and download the drivers needed to get your webcam up and working properly.\n\nMANY webcams are made by Logitech\nhttp://www.logitech.com\n\nBut make sure of your brand before loading any drivers.
