when there are many users are online, this may happen because  the server can get slower down, preventing to use webcam is a good way to keep it working.

If you can see websites and webpages on your monitor it's got nothing to do with the monitor at all...it's got to be a plug-in problem...

Hello,\n First I guess your Web Cam was installed yet.\n You should have a software which is able to do it. For instance: Net Meeting, yahoo Messenger and MSN Messenger, so the option like "Start talking with Web Cam" should have been used.\n  The talker who is talking to you have to have the same software that you have.\n   I hope you have success.

irst, check to see if the software that came with the camera works. Can you see yourself in whatever kind of monitor came with the camera? If not, then there is most likely something wrong with the camera installation. Check the Windows Device Manager to see if there is a problem with the camera. If so try un-installing the camera and re-installing it again (if the software asks to reboot your computer, unplug the camera before rebooting). Another possible problem is that only one program can access the camera at the same time. (Unless you have special software like WebCam Splitter) If you can see yourself with the software that comes with the camera, and your messenger program reports it can't access, find or use the camera, then the most likely problem is that other software has control of the camera. Make sure that the software that came with the camera is not using the camera. Close down the camera software, (usually right clicking on the task bar tray camera icon will give you an exit option) and try your messenger again.

If you're running a firewall, try disabling it TEMPORARILY and see if it will work. If so, you'll have to do some troubleshooting with your firewall. http://help.yahoo.com/help/aa/mesg/webcams/webcams-13.html\nmight help.

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!

Well, this could also be a firewall setting. Though if you have twiddled with the Internet options lately, the solution is probably going to Tools --> Internet Options --> Advanced --> (under multimedia) Show Pictures.

Most often with a webcam, it is a driver problem. Did you install the software that cam with the webcam? Uninstall and then reinstall the drivers.Try using a different USB port and reinstalling the drivers. \nAlso check your firewall.

It is only possible in some cases. Your web cam has to be connected and working in the first place and you have te have an internet connection... There is a program that allows you to watch the camera and even have audio. But it has to be smuggled into your computer first. The program that does that is a clone of the sub7. I did get it myself by a p2p program. That program only works with msn messenger and yahoo messenger, if the instant messenger isn't protected by a good virus scanner, and the file/printer sharing is on.\nIf you really want to be sure no one is watching....just plug the web cam and microphone off !

Please do not try to record incoming webcam, it is dangerous because you are playing with other people's privacy.  Please respect other people's privacy....

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