make sure you install the drivers before plugging in the camera. Just run the install disk that came with the camera. It will tell you when to plug the camera in. Uninstall and re-install all drivers prior to plugging it in. If you still can't get a picture. go to the directory where the software is installed and try using the capture program and see if it turns it on. you may have to reboot the computer.

try driverguide.com and searching for it there. It sounds like its an older webcam. Chnaces are someone has uploaded the proper driver. If you download one and it doesnt work, keep trying. Some people on there are idiots. oh and you have to register too but its pretty easy and if you ever need a driver, they got over 400, 000 to choose from.

not enough power to your laptop, try putting in the recharging wire while you use it.  If thats not the problem, try redownloading the software for the webcam

Ok, look for the serial number provided on the webcam. It might be on the cord or somewhere else. Now go to google and enter that number with the word driver or manufacturer. You might have some luck, but it might take a while.\n\nTry to download a generic driver, if possible.

Go to "my computer" and right-click and go to properties.  Then click the "hardware" tab.  Then click on "device manager."  Make sure your webcam is plugged in.  See if there is a webcam listed in the "device manager."  If not, you may need to install a driver that came with it on a CD, or download a driver from the manufacturer.\n\nIf the webcam does show up in the device manager, delete it, and shut down your computer.  Then unplug the webcam.  Boot up your computer until it has finished loading completely.  Then plug the webcam back in, and try using it or installing it again.

Assuming you have installed the webcam properly with its drivers.\n\n1. Logon to http://messenger.yahoo.com/\n\n2. Click on the Features link on the top row.\n\n3. Click on the Webcam link which is in the last coloum.\n\n4. Click on the "Visit the Yahoo! Help Center" link on the right hand side.\n\n5. This will bring you to the webcam help section. Under the Getting Started title click on the Test webcam link. The website usually downloads a piece of software from Yahoo to your computer.\n\nThis is what I followed when I was unable to use my webcam on yahoo. I was able to use the cam on all other messengers and not on yahoo. Once this software was downloaded, the webcam works just fine on yahoo now.\n\nPls update your question if any errors are reported.\n\nUjjU

Check your cables, maybe it is not properly connected.  Did you installed the software that came with your camera to your computer?

pls try to reinstall  the driver, if it is brand new return it to the store to show you the correct setup steps or better look for the brand A4 tech webcam, it is the best brand for our dummies like us, and it is very user friendly any idiot can do it like me.
