Try updating your web cam drivers themselves and be sure all other applications are closed. You can also try another video conference software like iVisit for instance that is GREAT and FREE!

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 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

First, check your Recycle Bin and see if it is possibly in there to be restored. Second, if you must install software, my best guess is just to go ahead and reinstall the disc that came with the cam. (You may need to uninstall this and reinstall, do you have paperwork that came with it?) What version of Windows are you running, eg.: '95, '98, XP, etc... XP has a rollback utility, go back to another time, before you deleted it (multimedia audio). I have had help from the friendly folks at Radio Shack over the phone, believe it or not, in "talking me through" fixing some configuration settings. I have found the ones local to me to be really helpful and generous with their time and advice. Try giving them a call first if you aren't sure what to do. I hope it works out for you!

Unplug the web cam and go to the windows add/remove program option.  Uninstall it from there (there may also be an option to uninstall from START/PROGRAMS/).

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.

First: Dont turn off your firewall.\nSecond: If you are trying to use the webcam to broadcast to the internet, read up on how to open up different ports on your firewall to allow this. This totally depends on the application you are using for your webcam.\n\nIf you update your question with the application, I will be happy to help you some more...\n\nKEEP YOUR FIREWALL ON!!!!

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.

If you know what kind of webcam it is, or even who the manufacturer is then you can go to their web site and download the drivers needed to get your webcam up and working properly.\n\nMANY webcams are made by Logitech\nhttp://www.logitech.com\n\nBut make sure of your brand before loading any drivers.

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.

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!
