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.

It should be okay to use the software, as Windows OS are basically improved(?) upon, so XP runs basically the same way as earlier versions with a few differences. However, in the likely event it does not work, windows XP should be able to handle the digital camera anyway. This happened just the other day, my mate had deleted his cameras software, but he plugged it in to the comp anyway and xp handled it for him. \n\nIf that doesn't work, try here for some programs that will do the job for you:\n\nhttp://downloads.zdnet.com/\n\nThis may also work\nhttp://downloads.zdnet.com/download.aspx?&kw=digital+camera&docid=265333

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.

I don't think the web camera uses the server.\n\nGo to Start, Programs, Acessories, Scanner and Camera Wizzard, and then select the one you want to use or select next and your picture should show if you only have one camera.

No, it is not possible as you will need a lens to get the image on computer and the webcam serves as the lens. When there will be no lens, you do anything but you wont be able to have your image uploaded.

The system restore could possibly have restored your system to a point prior to installation of the webcam. Try the following:\nPower down your pc.\nUnplug the webcam.\nReboot\nUninstall the webcam software and drivers, and if you know where it's folder is, delete that too.\nReboot\nReinstall the webcam's software and drivers, but don't connect the webcam untill it tells you to. (You may have to reboot again before you plug in the webcam)\n\nHopefully, this will work - if not, then yes, take the cam back and get a new one!

It's actually cheaper if you don't buy a digital camera at all.  Instead go to Best Buy and buy a webcam.  Webcams also can take still photos that are stored directly to your computer (even quicker than using a digital cam)  The resolution on the webcam should be good enough for ebay and even a very good webcam is still less expensive than your average low quality inexpensive digital camera (around 75 dollars for a quality webcam).  \n\nLook for webcams that advertize higher resolution for a sharper still photo.  \n\nBest of luck and good question!

That means you have dial up internet or DSL and sometimes the data isnt transferred right to the Yahoo! server just try again later and it generally works....If you keep getting the error uninstall your webcam and reinstall it (you might have to do it a couple times)...Good Luck!

Open up your firewall configuration and put the webcam details on the "allow" list, but it should "pick it up" automatically and ask you whether you want to allow it.  \n\nHowever, I have a webcam and mine doesn't need firewall access so  you may not need to do anything.

Have you installed the software/drivers for the webcam?  You can't just plug a cam in your computer without its drivers.  If you did install the cam's software, try reinstalling it again and see that helps.

You need correct drivers,most webcams are USB 2.0 try to find driver CD if you cant find it look on internett for your driver for your specific camera
