Do you have a USB port for your Cam?\nThere should be a driver CD with the web cam too.\nAssume Windows XP, USB ports, have interneet access\n1) Attach CAM to Computer. The Computer will auto detect the hardware.\n2) click Use CD from manufacturer. for driver. or run the CD setup.\n3) get IM download from your favourite Services Yahoo or Microsoft.\n4) Install. IM download.\nAdd more details to Question if do not work :)

Every web cam comes with a driver. Once you install it in your system. You can go ahead and use Yahoo messenger to interact with web cam.

take the usb cord attached to it, plug it into a usb port on your computer, ((on the front or back of it)), then go into an instant messaging or chat program, such as yahoo messenger or msn messenger, and the rest is pretty  self explanatory\n\nyou can get msn messenger here\n\nhttp://get.live.com/messenger/overview\n\nthen add peoples address that you know, and you can instant message them with your webcam

there is a nifty program called "webcamxp"\nit will run it's own http server, and pull data from your webcam.\nit's pretty nifty.\nalso, there is http://stickam.com which has a flash client that you can embed into your website. stickam relays what you send to them, so it's less intensive on your network, and you don't have to open any ports

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.

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.

You need a web cam and normally you will get a cd with drivers as well as other programs.\nWhen its installed you will find you can download other programs that will work with the web cam.\nSome Web cams Like some  Intel web cams will run atomatically with XP so there was need for drivers for the Intel Web cams.

You should install the software with no camera connected.\nIf you installed it with camera connected, do the following\n1- Disconnect camera\n2- Remove software\n3- Restart computer\n4- Install software (With no camera connected)\n5- Restart computer\n6- Connect camera\n\nIf this is not working either, i guess there is a problem in the webcam

I bought a wonderful webcam with motion detector and infrared from Webcams4u which can be found on Ebay, or on the internet. Their prices are great and I think I paid £10.00 for mine, it also has a built in microphone

your question mean what? \n1. it does not work totaly in windows or \n2. you dont know how to make it work (eg :video chat in yahoo massanger)\n\nanswer for question 1. if it is totaly not work (not function in windows) you need to find driver to work.\n\nfirst of all\n\ntry plug in your webcam to pc. if your windows just detect and dont ask (prompt) for any software or driver that mean no need to install additional driver.\n\nif windows ask it, try find cd that come with your webcam. if lost. determine what brand your webcam is. try search at google using this keyword : "driver for xxxxx webcam (replace xxxx with your webcam brand or model)\n\nanswer question 2. of you dont know how to make it work with yahoo masssanger,\n\n1. click  menu "messenger" at main yahoo windows. if you dont know how to find, look at the above icon you use to change your status.\n\n2. click "mywebcam" and follow the instruction. read carefully, because we are here just can instruct you in text, so what i can say here. key to success in computer is "read and understand what u click"\n\ntry.. good luck
