how much ram do you have, you may not have enough video ram or internal ram to handle the stream. Video uses the most resources of any media you use on a computer. And if you have other softwares running in the background that'll freeze you up also alot of the time.\n\nBut you can check to make sure the drivers are up-to-date, and that you confiured it correctly. Creative pro is tricky, you have to make sure you have it configured exactly. It doesn't auto-adjust to most drivers. You have to manually configure it. and remember it uses alot of resources, so a slow computer, low ram, or low video ram are the main problems I face when my clients come to me with a creative pro issue. After checking those it's easy to find how to make it run smooth.

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

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..

I have the EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I have the same problem when I try to load a clip. People have told me to download Movie Maker again, but I can't make it work properly. If you can, try that.

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.

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

Try updating your driver and the creative webcam centre\n\nhttp://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp?MainCategory=218&sOSName=Windows+XP&region=1&Product_Name=WebCam+Instant&Product_ID=10410&modelnumber=&driverlang=1033&OS=10&drivertype=0&x=20&y=15\n\nIf you have yahoo messanger open and you are trying to open use it from the creative webcam centre you might experience a problme becuase to applications are trying to use the camera at the same time. Close yahoo and see if the creative webcam software opens without any problems or vicde versa.\n\nI hope that helps.

I had the same problem with mine.  If you have a firewall on your computer that's probably the problem.  I went to preferences:connection: and changed it from "firewall no proxies" to "no proxies" and it works fine now.  You might want to fiddle with those settings. I still dont know how to get super webcam mode to work.

I have a creative webcam, and it came with software that turns your pc into a security system with a program that came with the camera called Webcam Monitor.  In this program you can set up your camera to start recording a clip when it detects motion, and then it will send an e-mail to a specified e-mail address.  I wasn't able to set it up correctly though and I don't know what I was doing wrong.

Check to make sure that no other programmes are access the sound drivers, or any of the software that's needed for this to run correctly.  Press control alt delete and see what applications and processes are running.  Close any thing that you think that could interfere. Then try running it again.  If that doesn't work first run a scan to check you haven't downloaded any nasties, then re-install your cam software again.

You have to go into set defaults and set you webcam up in there to get it to work. You most likely will have to turn your computer off and let it boot back up before it will allow the changes.

You'll have to give more information that that.  What type of cam... what do you mean by download?  Do you mean you're trying to install the software and it is giving errors?  Are you trying to download the software from the internet and cannot?\n\nList what you're trying to do and on what operating system and someone should be able to help you out...\n\nLater!
